BUT is the autoimmune resistance that the body creates against its own cells and tissues. These antibodies are formed against the cell’s structure called mitochondria (the cell’s energy-synthesizing organ). A liver disease characterized by a cholestatic (biliary obstruction) in the AMA serum is the most valuable predictor for the diagnosis of Primary Biliary Cirrhosis (PBC).
Interpretation:If AMA is positive, this indicates that the person has PBC disease. In rare cases, however, a person with PBC may have a low serum AMA, while it is possible that a person with AMA positive does not have PBC. This may indicate a tendency for another liver disease to develop into PBC.
