Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody Price in Bangladesh

What is Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody?

The Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody (AMA) test detects antibodies against the mitochondria, the energy-producing structures in cells. Elevated levels of AMA are primarily associated with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC), a chronic liver disease where the immune system attacks the bile ducts, leading to liver damage.

The test is used to diagnose PBC, particularly in individuals with symptoms like fatigue, jaundice, or elevated liver enzymes. It is performed with a blood sample, and the risks are minimal, generally involving slight discomfort during the blood draw.

A positive result is a key marker for diagnosing PBC.

What to expect & how to prepare

Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Anti-Mitochondrial Antibody result rather than self-diagnosing.
