Overview:

Our AMA Blood Test (Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody Test) is a specialised diagnostic tool designed to detect the presence of anti-mitochondrial antibodies in your blood. These antibodies are key indicators of primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), an autoimmune liver disease that causes progressive damage to the bile ducts. Early detection through the AMA Blood Test enables timely and effective management of PBC, improving your quality of life and preventing further liver complications.
