What is AMA(Anti Mitochondrial Abs)?
This test detects Anti-Mitochondrial Antibodies (AMA) in your blood. These antibodies are often present when your immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells in your body, particularly those in the liver.
Why is this test important?
High levels of AMA are a key indicator for Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC), a chronic liver disease that can lead to liver damage. This test helps in diagnosing PBC and monitoring its progression.
