Type-2 autoimmune hepatitis, also known as AIH-2, is a medical condition that causes acute inflammation of the liver.

Type-2 autoimmune hepatitis, also known as AIH-2, is a medical condition that causes acute inflammation of the liver. While anyone can develop this condition, it is more common in children and females. When left untreated, this disorder can scar the liver tissue, resulting in a condition called liver cirrhosis. In some cases, it can also lead to liver failure. During this condition, the person’s body produces the liver-kidney microsomal antibody (LKM). These antibodies start destroying the person’s own liver and kidney cells.

As the name suggests, the LKM antibody lab test is performed to detect the presence of these antibodies in one’s blood. A positive LKM antibody test result suggests that the person has type-2 autoimmune hepatitis that may lead to significant liver damage. A negative LKM antibody test report, on the other hand, shows the absence of LKM antibodies.

When is an Anti-LKM Antibody Test Prescribed?

Generally, doctors suggest an anti-LKM antibody blood test to individuals who show signs of type-2 autoimmune hepatitis. Although the symptoms of this condition can vary from one individual to another, a few warning signs always remain the same. These are:

Skin rashes and itching
Joint pain
Abdominal discomfort
Enlarged liver
Dark urine
Nausea or vomiting
Mental confusion
Loss of appetite
Pale or clay-colored stools
Muscle pain (myalgia)
Fluid buildup (oedema)

How to Interpret Anti-LKM Antibody Test Results?

Usually, the report for the anti-LKM antibody Test is generated online within 24-48 hours of sample collection. One can either download it from our website or collect it from the lab.

Here’s what the test results indicate:

Positive	Indicates the presence of LKM antibodies, which are caused by type-2 autoimmune hepatitis
Negative	Suggests the absence of LKM antibodies in the bloodstream

It is always recommended to consult a doctor as soon as the test results are received. If the test result is positive, the doctor will suggest an appropriate course of treatment. In case of a negative LKM antibody test result, the doctor may suggest further testing to rule out any other condition.

How to Prepare for the Anti-LKM Antibody Test?
