Liver disease test panel - autoimmune

Protein levels:

The normal range for protein levels in the blood will change with each laboratory. Please check with your health care provider for the normal ranges in your particular laboratory.

Antibodies:

Negative results on all antibodies are normal

A positive test on the panel, except for a positive anti-mitochondrial antibody test, may indicate autoimmune hepatitis or other autoimmune liver disease.

If the test is positive for anti-mitochondrial antibodies, there is a high probability of primary biliary cirrhosis.

If the immune proteins are high and albumin is low, the person may have liver cirrhosis or chronic active hepatitis.
