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; smooth muscle antibody (SMA); liver kidney microsome type 1 (LKM-1) antibody; soluble liver antigen (SLA) antibody; and anti-mitochondrial antibody (AMA) with reflex to titer.

Certain hepatitis C therapies, such as peginterferon and ribavirin, are contraindicated for patients ...
