An Autoimmune Liver Panel looks for antibodies in your blood that may attack the liver by mistake. You may also see it called a liver autoantibody panel, autoimmune hepatitis panel, or AIH panel. If your doctor ordered it, you can book at participating labs on LabFinder.
This panel, sometimes listed as ANA ASMA AMA panel or liver autoantibody panel, checks for three main antibodies. ANA means antinuclear antibody. ASMA means anti smooth muscle antibody. AMA means antimitochondrial antibody. Together they can help your care team see if an autoimmune problem may be affecting your liver.
Common reasons: unexplained high liver enzymes on prior blood work, long lasting tiredness or itching with no clear cause, yellowing of the skin or eyes, right upper belly discomfort, or when a doctor suspects autoimmune hepatitis or primary biliary cholangitis.
You will check in, show ID, and review the order. A tech cleans a small area on your arm, draws a tube or two of blood, and places a bandage. Most visits take about 10 to 20 minutes at the site. You can usually go back to normal activities right after the draw.
Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable. Very high dose biotin supplements can affect some lab methods, so follow any hold times the lab suggests.
No special fasting unless told: most centers do not require fasting for this panel. Ask about biotin supplements: your doctor or the lab may ask you to pause high dose biotin before testing. Stay hydrated: drinking water can make the draw easier. Wear short sleeves: this helps with access to your arm. Bring your medication and history list: include recent infusions or immune treatments. Always follow any instructions from your doctor or the lab and bring prior results if you have them.
Autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cholangitis, overlap syndromes, long term itching or fatigue with abnormal liver tests, jaundice, and ongoing right upper belly discomfort. Results are read in context. Your doctor will review them with your history and symptoms before advising next steps.
