Anti Mitochondrial Abs

Anti Mitochondrial Abs


The Anti-Mitochondrial Antibodies (AMA) test checks for specific antibodies that mistakenly attack the body’s own cells, particularly those in the liver. A positive result may indicate an autoimmune liver condition such as Primary Biliary Cholangitis (PBC). This test is often recommended if you have abnormal liver function results or symptoms such as fatigue, itching, or jaundice. Early detection can help guide appropriate treatment and ongoing monitoring.
