Liver Disease
A fully automated assay panel for aiding the diagnosis of autoimmune liver diseases through quality and efficiency immunoassays
Although autoimmune liver diseases are rare, their differential diagnosis from non-autoimmune liver diseases is important in the treatment decision. Among autoimmune liver diseases are:
Autoimmune Hepatitis is a chronic, inflammatory disease starting as acute hepatitis and progressing to chronic liver disease and cirrhosis or liver failure1.
Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is an autoimmune disease causing a chronic inflammation of the intrahepatic bile ducts, leading to hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis and ultimately may lead to the need for a liver transplant2,3.
Our Autoimmune Liver Disease panel aids laboratories in the diagnosis and monitoring of these conditions’ through enhanced quality and workflow efficacy immunoassays:
- Anti-AMA (M2) IgG for aiding the diagnosis of PBC 4.
- Anti-LKM-1 IgG for aiding the diagnosis of Autoimmune Hepatitis5.
