    What Is an Anti Mitochondrial antibody (IFA) Test?

    The Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody (AMA) test detects the presence of antimitochondrial antibodies in the blood. AMA is a specific and sensitive indicator for primary biliary cholangitis/cirrhosis (PBC), a chronic autoimmune liver disease. Over 95% of people with PBC test positive for these antibodies.

    PBC mainly affects middle-aged individuals and is frequently linked to other autoimmune conditions like Sjögren’s syndrome. The disease causes progressive liver scarring as the immune system attacks bile ducts, impairing the liver's function.

    The IFA (Immunofluorescence Assay) method used in this test allows for accurate detection of AMA, especially M2 antibodies strongly associated with PBC. Early detection through the AMA test is important because prompt treatment can slow the disease's progression, reduce liver damage, and help prevent liver failure.

    This test is critical for diagnosing autoimmune liver diseases and monitoring liver health, as it helps differentiate PBC from other liver disorders. If you have ongoing liver function abnormalities or symptoms pointing to PBC, an Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody test at home may aid in further diagnosis.

    Anti Mitochondrial antibody (IFA) Test Parameters

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

    These antibodies are produced against mitochondria, the cell's energy-producing components. Over time, they can cause damage to the liver. The detection of AMA in the blood is strongly associated with autoimmune liver diseases such as primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). Additionally, antimitochondrial antibodies can be found in a small number of individuals with autoimmune hepatitis and other liver conditions. AMAs can appear in the blood years before any symptoms or significant liver abnormalities are noticeable, making early detection crucial for identifying autoimmune liver damage.

    Anti Mitochondrial antibody (IFA) Test Preparation

    Here’s what you need to know to prepare for an Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody (IFA) test at home:

    • Prerequisites Fasting is typically not necessary before the Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody (IFA) test. However, it’s best to consult your doctor for any specific preparation recommendations.

    • Best Time to Get Tested The AMA test can be done at any time that is convenient for you, offering flexibility and ease.

    • Who Should Get an Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody (IFA) Test? The test is suggested for those showing symptoms of PBC or other autoimmune liver diseases. It may also be recommended for individuals with persistently abnormal liver function tests, unexplained jaundice, or chronic fatigue linked to liver conditions.

    • Cautions Before Taking an Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody (IFA) Test Be sure to inform your doctor about any ongoing medications, recent infections, or existing autoimmune conditions, as these could affect your test results.

    Why Take the Anti Mitochondrial antibody (IFA) Test?

    The Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody test is crucial because it can:

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

    Differentiate liver conditions : It helps distinguish PBC from other liver disorders, such as viral hepatitis, alcoholic cirrhosis, and bile duct blockages.

    A doctor may recommend this test if you show symptoms associated with liver damage from PBC, such as:

    • Persistent fatigue

    • Unexplained weight loss

    • Nausea and loss of appetite

    • Abdominal pain or discomfort

    • Bone, muscle, and joint pain

    • Itching (pruritus)

    • Yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice)

    • Swelling in the ankles or abdomen due to fluid buildup

    • Dry eyes and mouth (linked to Sjögren’s syndrome)

    • Dark urine

    Highest Rated Diagnostic Lab

    • It was a bit different and nice experience than the other lab people who come to home for collection. The staff was well groomed and dressed. Had a fresh N93 mask and removed shoes outside home. He didn't touch anything after entering and started wearing all his gears which I noticed was unpacked and fresh. Very neatly took swab, disposed the gears separately in his bag and left. Thorough professional. Also, got report within time. Quick and prompt service.

    • Good first experience availing the services. Easy to place a request for at home sample collection. In fact the collection was scheduled in no time, which I really appreciate because it was a RTPCR where time is of essence. The phlebotomist arrived on time despite a heavy rain. He was courteous and quite skilled. The report came on time too. The status updates were easily available. Customer care was prompt and helpful. Based on my first experience, I recommend Orange Health.
