  • Title: Autoimmune Markers in Primary Biliary Cholangitis.
    Author: Shah SK, Bowlus CL.
    Journal: Clin Liver Dis; 2024 Feb; 28(1):93-101. PubMed ID: 37945165.
    Abstract:
    Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) is a chronic cholestatic liver disease. The most common antibody associated with PBC is the anti-mitochondrial antibody (AMA), present in 90% to 95% of patients. For patients who are AMA-negative, novel biomarkers, such as antinuclear antibody-specific antibodies Sp100 and gp210 and anti-kelch-like-12 and anti-hexokinase-1 antibodies, may further aid in the diagnosis of PBC. Several laboratory methods, including immunofluorescence, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunoblotting, and bead-based assays, exist to evaluate for the presence of antibodies. This article describes various methods used to evaluate antibodies as well as describe the antibodies present in PBC.
