Antimitochondrial Antibody (AMA)

The mitochondria in your body are responsible for generating energy for the cells in your body to use. The regular functioning of all cells is dependent on the presence of these proteins. Antimitochondrial antibodies (AMAs) are produced when the body attacks its cells, tissues, and organs; antimitochondrial antibodies (AMAs) are produced. Immune systems react as if they were dealing with an infection when this occurs.

A blood test by the American Medical Association (AMA) identifies increased levels of these antibodies. Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), previously known as primary biliary cirrhosis, is the most common use of this test.

Why done? 

In PBC, the immune system attacks the liver's tiny bile ducts. The scarring caused by damaged bile ducts might lead to liver failure. The risk of liver cancer is also elevated in those with this illness.

Symptoms of PBC include:

• fatigue
• itchy skin
• jaundice
• pain in the abdomen
• swelling of the hands and feet
• dry mouth and eyes
• weight loss
