  2. Anti-actin antibodies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-actin_antibodies

    Anti-actin antibodies (AAA) [1] are found at increased frequency in certain autoimmune diseases and may be of some diagnostic value. In coeliac disease , anti- actin antibody levels correlate with the level of intestinal damage.

  3. Autoimmune hepatitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoimmune_hepatitis

    Lupus-associated liver disease - rarely presents with elevated ASMA or AMA antibodies; Acute liver failure - people with acute liver failure may have elevated autoantibodies but the antibodies alone are not enough for the diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis; Iron overload - elevated iron in the body can cause liver inflammation

  4. Autoantibody - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autoantibody

    Antibody profiling is used for identifying persons from forensic samples. The technology can uniquely identify a person by analyzing the antibodies in body fluids. A unique, individual set of antibodies, called individual specific autoantibodies (ISA), is found in blood, serum, saliva, urine, semen, perspiration, tears, and body tissues, and ...

  5. Anti-smooth muscle antibody - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-smooth_muscle_antibody

    Anti-smooth muscle antibodies are antibodies (immunoglobulins) formed against smooth muscle. These antibodies are typically associated with autoimmune hepatitis. [1] [2] These antibodies can be directed against actin, troponin, and tropomyosin. [3]

    Blood tests may be performed to exclude other causes of muscle disease (elevated creatine kinase may indicate a myositis, and abnormal thyroid function tests may indicate thyrotoxic myopathy). Antibodies against voltage-gated calcium channels can be identified in 85% of people with EMG-confirmed LEMS. [4]

  7. Anti-mitochondrial antibody - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-mitochondrial_antibody

    Anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA) are autoantibodies, consisting of immunoglobulins formed against mitochondria, [1] primarily the mitochondria in cells of the liver.. The presence of AMA in the blood or serum of a person may be indicative of the presence of, or the potential to develop, the autoimmune disease primary biliary cholangitis (PBC; previously known as primary biliary cirrhosis).

  8. Maxine is usually so happy and smiley, so it's clear that the outfit dad put on her is what's making her so upset. I cracked up when he asked if she liked it, and she looked at him like he was ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lupus_anticoagulant

    In a suspected antiphospholipid syndrome, lupus anticoagulant is generally tested in conjunction with anti-apolipoprotein antibodies and anti-cardiolipin antibodies, and diagnostic criteria require one clinical event (i.e. thrombosis or pregnancy complication) and two positive blood test results spaced at least three months apart that detect at ...
