Laboratory Findings
To diagnose PBC, distinctions should be established from other conditions with similar symptoms, such as autoimmune hepatitis or primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC).
Diagnostic blood tests include:
- Deranged liver function tests (high alkaline phosphatase, elevated AST, ALT)
- Presence of certain antibodies: antimitochondrial antibody antinuclear antibodies like Anti-glycoprotein-210 antibodies, Anti-centromere antibodies, anti-sp100. (the M2-IgG antimitochondrial antibody is the most specific test)
