    What is Anti Mitochondrial antibody (IFA) Test?

    The Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody (AMA) test detects antimitochondrial antibodies in the blood. 1 AMA is a highly specific and sensitive marker for primary biliary cholangitis/cirrhosis (PBC), a chronic autoimmune liver disease. These antibodies are present in over 95% of individuals with PBC.

    PBC is a disorder that primarily affects middle-aged individuals and is often associated with other autoimmune conditions such as Sjögren’s syndrome. The disease leads to progressive scarring of the liver due to the immune system attacking bile ducts, impairing the liver’s ability to function properly.

    The IFA (Immunofluorescence Assay) method used in this test helps accurately identify AMA, particularly M2 antibodies strongly linked to PBC. Early detection with the AMA test is crucial, as timely intervention can slow disease progression, reduce liver damage, and delay liver failure.

    This test is essential for diagnosing autoimmune liver diseases and monitoring liver health. 3 It also helps in distinguishing PBC from other hepatobiliary disorders. If you have persistent liver function abnormalities or symptoms suggestive of PBC, scheduling an Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody test at home may help in further evaluation.

    Anti Mitochondrial antibody (IFA) Test Parameters

    The Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody test measures the levels of antimitochondrial antibodies in the blood.

    Anti-mitochondrial antibodies are antibodies that are formed against the mitochondria, the energy-producing structures located within the cells. These antibodies target mitochondria, leading to liver damage over time. The presence of AMA in blood has been linked to autoimmune liver conditions like PBC. In addition to PBC, antimitochondrial antibodies may also be found in a small percentage of individuals with autoimmune hepatitis and other liver disorders. AMAs can appear in the bloodstream years before symptoms or significant liver function abnormalities develop. Therefore, the detection of AMA can help in the early detection of autoimmune liver damage.

    Anti Mitochondrial antibody (IFA) Test Preparation

    Preparing for an Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody (IFA) test at home is convenient with this information:

    • Prerequisites

    Fasting is generally not required for the Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody (IFA) test. However, it is advisable to consult your doctor for any specific preparation instructions.

    • Cautions Before Taking an Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody (IFA) Test

    Inform your doctor about any ongoing medications, recent infections, or autoimmune conditions, as these factors may influence test results.

    Why Take the Anti Mitochondrial antibody (IFA) Test?

    The Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody test is essential as it can:

    Diagnose PBC: The AMA test is primarily used to diagnose a chronic autoimmune liver condition, primary biliary cholangitis.

    • Persistent fatigue

    • Itching (pruritus)

    • Abdominal pain or discomfort

    • Nausea and poor appetite
