    What is a Liver-Kidney Microsomal (LKM) - 1 antibody Test?

    The Liver-Kidney Microsomal (LKM) - 1 antibody test assesses levels of autoantibodies produced by the immune system that specifically target an enzyme predominantly found in liver cells. The presence of these antibodies is closely linked to type 2 autoimmune hepatitis.

    As a result, this test is particularly useful in differentiating between type 1 and type 2 autoimmune hepatitis. Anti-LKM-1 antibodies are primarily associated with type 2 autoimmune hepatitis, often observed in children and young adults, indicating liver inflammation and damage.

    Symptoms of autoimmune hepatitis can include itching, yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice), and an enlarged liver. Other common signs are joint pain, stomach discomfort, and unusual red spots on the skin called spider angiomas. Nausea or vomiting, dark urine, and a reduced appetite can also occur. Stools may be pale or clay-colored, and some individuals might have muscle pain. For women, there can be missed periods, skin rashes, and swelling from fluid buildup.

    If you live in Bangalore and you suspect or experience symptoms of liver injury and want to investigate further, you can schedule the Liver-Kidney Microsomal (LKM) - 1 antibody test in Bangalore with the convenience of home-testing.
