Clinical Significance
Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC) Diagnostic Panel -
This panel may be helpful in the diagnostic evaluation of individuals with suspected primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). This panel includes anti-mitochondrial antibody (AMA), with reflex to titer; 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; IgG); Sjogren antibodies (SSA, SSB); thyroid peroxidase (TPO) antibody; and liver kidney microsome type 1 (LKM-1) antibody (IgG).
PBC can be diagnosed by fulfilling 2 of the 3 diagnostic criteria that comprise ...
