Autoimmune liver disease panel

Alternative names:

liver disease test panel - autoimmune

Normal values:

Protein levels:

• albumin: 3.1 to 4.3 g/dl
• alpha 1 globulin: 0.1 to 0.3 g/dl
• alpha 2 globulin: 0.6 to 1.0 g/dl
• beta globulin: 0.7 to 1.4 g/dl
• gamma 1 globulin: 0.7 to 1.6 g/dl
• total protein: 6.3 to 7.9 g/dl

Note: g/dl = grams per deciliter

Antibodies:

• negative test result for antinuclear antibodies
• negative test result for antimitochondrial antibodies
• negative test result for anti-smooth muscle antibodies

What abnormal results mean:

If the test is positive for antinuclear antibodies, chronic active hepatitis or other liver disease involving the immune system may be indicated.

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

If the test is positive for anti-smooth muscles antibodies, either chronic active hepatitis or primary biliary cirrhosis may be indicated.

If the globulins are elevated and albumin is decreased, hepatic cirrhosis or chronic active hepatitis may be indicated.
