Understanding Autoimmune Hepatitis Panel in Guntur
What is Autoimmune Hepatitis Panel in Guntur?
An Autoimmune Hepatitis Panel is tailored to detect autoantibodies that are associated with autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), a chronic liver disease that occurs when your body's immune system mistakenly attacks the liver. This panel encompasses a group of four important markers namely; Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody (AMA), Liver Kidney Microsome-1 Antibody, Anti Smooth Muscle Antibody (ASMA), and Antinuclear Antibody (ANA) that tells about the severity of autoimmune hepatitis and helps distinguish AIH from primary biliary cholangitis (inflammation of bile ducts). This test is widely available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in Guntur.
No special preparations are needed for this test. However, it's advised to inform your doctor about any medications or supplements that you are taking, as certain medications may affect the test results.

Liver Kidney Microsome - 1 Antibody
Anti Smooth Muscle Antibody IFA
Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) by IFA - End Point Titer
An Anti-Nuclear Antibody (ANA) by IFA - End Point Titer test checks for antinuclear antibodies (ANA) in your blood. These antibodies, different from typical ones that fight off invaders in the body, can attach to structures inside the body’s own cell nuclei. If ANAs are present in the blood, it may suggest that your immune system is overly sensitive, causing inflammation against your own tissues and possibly indicating autoimmune diseases.
