Know more about this test

The Anti Mitochondrial Antibody (AMA), IFA Titre is a blood test used to measure the amount of antibodies (titre) directed against mitochondria, the energy-producing structures within cells. This test helps diagnose autoimmune liver diseases, particularly primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), distinguishing it from other liver conditions such as autoimmune hepatitis, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and viral hepatitis. It is available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in Secunderabad.

This test may be recommended if symptoms of liver disease such as fatigue, itching, jaundice, and abnormal liver function tests (particularly alkaline phosphatase) are noticed. It may also be done for individuals with risk factors such as a family history of autoimmune liver diseases or other autoimmune disorders. Additionally, the Anti Mitochondrial Antibody-IFA test can be used to monitor the progression of PBC and the response to treatment.

An overnight fasting (8 to 12 hours) is preferred before getting this test done, however it is not mandatory.

Understanding Anti Mitochondrial Antibody (AMA), IFA Titre

Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic autoimmune liver disease in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the bile ducts, resulting in bile buildup in the liver. This causes scarring of the liver and can even lead to liver failure. Antimicrobial antibodies (AMAs) are produced as a part of this autoimmune response and are present in up to 95% of PBC patients. The Anti Mitochondrial Antibody (AMA), IFA Titre test measures the concentration of these AMAs, making it a highly specific marker of PBC.

This test may be recommended if symptoms of liver disease such as fatigue, itching, jaundice, and abnormal liver function tests (particularly alkaline phosphatase) are noticed. It may also be done for individuals with risk factors such as a family history of autoimmune liver diseases or other autoimmune disorders. Additionally, the Anti Mitochondrial Antibody (AMA), IFA Titre test can be used to monitor the progression of PBC and the response to treatment.

The high titer (higher concentration of antibodies) may indicate the possibility of PBC and helps assess its severity. This is because a smaller percentage of AMAs can also be found in individuals with other liver and autoimmune conditions, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as in some healthy people. Hence, the Anti Mitochondrial Antibody (AMA), IFA Titre test results should be interpreted in conjunction with other tests  like Antinuclear antibodies (ANA), Anti smooth muscle antibody (ASMA) and clinical findings to confirm a diagnosis.

An overnight fasting (8 to 12 hours) is preferred before the Anti Mitochondrial Antibody (AMA), IFA Titre. Inform your doctor about all the medicines and supplements you take, as some of them may affect the test results and need to be adjusted or temporarily discontinued before the test. 

Test result ranges may vary across laboratories. Abnormal test results require an expert interpretation; therefore, never try to self-medicate at home based solely on these results, and always consult a doctor for a proper understanding of the test results.

What does Anti Mitochondrial Antibody (AMA), IFA Titre measure?

The Anti Mitochondrial Antibody (AMA), IFA Titre measures the amount of anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMAs) that play a critical role in the context of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a chronic liver disease. These autoantibodies target specific proteins in the mitochondria and are found in approximately 95% of individuals suffering from PBC, making them highly specific for the disease. 

PBC most often develops during middle age and is usually seen in individuals between the ages of 35 and 60, and most individuals have no specific symptoms. The disease is often discovered incidentally due to abnormal results on routine liver blood tests. Once PBC is suspected, an Anti Mitochondrial Antibody (AMA), IFA Titre is used to check for antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA). Identifying AMAs early in the disease process enables doctors to initiate treatments such as ursodeoxycholic acid, which can slow disease progression, reduce liver damage, and improve symptoms like fatigue and itching. Early detection also helps prevent complications such as cirrhosis and liver failure. Additionally, it enables patients to adopt lifestyle changes and receive regular monitoring, which further contributes to better long-term health outcomes and quality of life.
