OR
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of [disease name] include [abnormal test 1], [abnormal test 2], and [abnormal test 3].
OR
[Test] is usually normal among patients with [disease name].
OR
Some patients with [disease name] may have elevated/reduced concentration of [test], which is usually suggestive of [progression/complication].

There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with [disease name].
Laboratory Findings
- Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of Autoimmune hepatitis include:
- Increased serum aminotransferase levels (1.5-50 times reference values)
- Increased serum immunoglobulin levels, primarily immunoglobulin G (1.2 to 3.0 times normal)
- Seropositive for ANAs, antiactin, SMAs, LKM-1, anti-liver cytosol 1 (anti-LC1) antibodies, SLA/LP autoantibodies or pANCA
