₹1,700.00
Liver-Kidney Microsome (LKM) – 1 Antibody
The Liver-Kidney Microsome (LKM) – 1 Antibody test is used to detect the presence of antibodies against liver and kidney microsomal antigens, which are proteins found in the liver and kidneys. This test is typically used to diagnose autoimmune conditions like autoimmune hepatitis type 2. The presence of LKM-1 antibodies is often associated with liver inflammation and damage, and it may help differentiate autoimmune hepatitis from other liver disorders. This test is crucial for diagnosing autoimmune hepatitis, especially in patients with symptoms of liver disease but no clear viral or toxic causes.
