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

A sample is collected at the centre and analysed in the laboratory. The sample type — blood, urine, stool or another body fluid — depends on the specific test, and the collection staff will tell you which one applies.

• Fasting: only some laboratory tests need fasting, and this varies test by test. Ask the centre whether fasting is required for this specific test when you book, rather than assuming.
• Medication: tell the laboratory about medicines, supplements and recent injections, because some can affect results.
• Requesting slip: bring the doctor's advice or previous reports so the laboratory runs and compares the right test.
• Report timing: turnaround differs between routine and specialised tests — the centre will tell you when your report is ready.

Have a registered doctor interpret the result together with your symptoms rather than self-diagnosing from reference ranges.
