What is ANTI SOLUBLE LIVER ANTIGEN?

This test looks for antibodies against soluble liver antigen (SLA/LP), a specific protein found in liver cells. It is a highly specific marker for certain autoimmune liver conditions.

Why is this test important?

Anti-SLA/LP antibodies are a strong and specific marker for Type 1 autoimmune hepatitis, particularly in cases that are negative for other common autoantibodies. Their presence helps confirm the diagnosis and guide treatment decisions for this serious liver condition.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
