What is Anti Liver Cytosol Antibody?

This test detects specific antibodies in your blood that target components within liver cells. It's used to help identify certain autoimmune conditions where your immune system mistakenly attacks your own liver.

Why is this test important?

The presence of these antibodies is a key indicator for diagnosing autoimmune hepatitis, a serious condition where the immune system causes inflammation and damage to the liver. It helps differentiate it from other liver diseases.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
