LIVER PAN
Example Reports
Negative
Positive

Ordering Recommendation

Recommended initial screening panel when autoimmune liver disease is strongly suspected. If negative, less frequently occurring autoantibody tests maybe ordered based on patient’s clinical presentation and history.

New York DOH Approval Status

This test is New York state approved.

Specimen Required

Patient Preparation
Collect

Serum separator tube (SST).

Specimen Preparation

25.0 U or greater  Positive
F-Actin (Smooth Muscle) Ab, IgG by ELISA 19 Units or less   Negative
20 - 30 Units  Weak Positive-Suggest repeat testing in two to three weeks with fresh specimen.
31 Units or greater   Positive-Suggestive of autoimmune hepatitis type 1 or chronic active hepatitis.

Compliance Category

FDA

Note

If F-Actin, IgG by ELISA is 20 Units or greater, then Smooth Muscle Antibody (SMA), IgG by IFA titer will be added. Additional charges apply.
ANA identified by indirect fluorescence assay (IFA) using HEp-2 substrate and IgG-specific conjugate at a screening dilution of 1:80. Positive nuclear patterns reported include homogeneous, speckled, centromere, nucleolar, or nuclear dots. Positive cytoplasmic patterns reported include reticular/AMA, discrete/GW body-like, polar/golgi-like, rods and rings, or cytoplasmic speckled patterns. All positive results are reported with endpoint titers at no additional charge.
