Overview
Anti-mitochondrial antibody (AMA) titer is the diagnostic study of choice for the diagnosis of primary biliary cirrhosis. The diagnosis of primary biliary cirrhosis is made in the absence of extrahepatic biliary obstruction, no other comorbid condition affecting the liver with the presence of at least two of the criteria including an alkaline phosphatase 1.5 times the upper limit of normal, anti-mitochondrial antibodies with titer 1:40 or higher, and histology of liver demonstrating primary biliary cirrhosis.
Diagnostic Study of Choice
- Anti-mitochondrial antibody (AMA) titer is the diagnostic study of choice for the diagnosis of primary biliary cirrhosis.[1][2]
- A titer of > 1:40 is suggestive of primary biliary cirrhosis.
| Test | Sensitivity | Specificity |
|---|---|---|
| AMA titer | 95% | 98% |
Diagnostic Criteria
The diagnosis of primary biliary cirrhosis is made in the absence of extrahepatic biliary obstruction, no other comorbid condition affecting the liver with the presence of at least two of the following:[3]
- An alkaline phosphatase 1.5 times the upper limit of normal
- Anti-mitochondrial antibodies with titer 1:40 or higher
- Histology of liver demonstrating primary biliary cirrhosis
