Clinical Significance
Autoimmune Hepatitis Diagnostic Panel -
This panel may be helpful in the diagnostic evaluation of individuals with suspected autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). This panel includes an antinuclear antibody (ANA) immunofluorescence assay (IFA) screen, performed on human epithelial type 2 (HEp-2) cells, with reflex to titer and pattern; actin (smooth muscle) antibody (SMA); liver kidney microsome type 1 (LKM-1) antibody (IgG); and anti-mitochondrial antibody (AMA) with reflex to titer.
The diagnosis of AIH is based on clinical features, serologic profile, and exclusion of resembling diseases such as viral hepatitis [1]. The detection of ...
