Anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA) are autoantibodies, consisting of immunoglobulins formed against mitochondria, [1] primarily the mitochondria in cells of the liver.

2018年11月13日 · An antimitochondrial antibody test looks for the autoimmune response that occurs when the body turns against its own cells, tissues, and organs.

This test looks for substances called antimitochondrial antibody and antimitochondrial M2 antibody in your blood. These substances are usually made by your body if you have a condition called primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC).

2023年7月7日 · An AMA test checks for the presence of antimitochondrial antibodies in a blood sample that you're asked to provide. The test can help answer lots of questions about your health and ensure that...

Anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA) are directed against the E2 subunits of the 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complexes (PDC-E2) and are the typical biomarkers of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), being present in 90–95% of patients, with increasing sensitivity at increasing titers.

Antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA) are substances that form against mitochondria. The mitochondria are an important part of cells. They are the energy source inside the cells. These help the cells work properly. This article discusses the blood test used to measure the amount of AMA in the blood.

This test measures the amount of antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA) in the blood. The production of AMA is strongly associated with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC). PBC is an autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation and scarring of the bile ducts inside the liver.
