What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're being treated for hepatitis C and your results team needs to check whether you also have an autoimmune liver condition before starting certain medications. Some hepatitis C treatments can be dangerous if you also have autoimmune hepatitis, so ruling it in or out matters before treatment begins. It's also useful if you have unexplained liver inflammation and want to understand whether your immune system is attacking your liver.

What's included in this test?

This panel looks at several different antibodies that your immune system may produce if it's mistakenly attacking liver tissue. Each antibody tends to show up with a different type of autoimmune hepatitis or related liver condition, so testing several together gives a much clearer picture than checking just one. Together, these markers help distinguish autoimmune hepatitis from hepatitis C-related liver damage.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will appear in your account with each antibody result explained, including whether it was detected and at what level if applicable. If any antibodies come back positive, the next step is usually to look at additional liver antibody testing or liver function monitoring to build a fuller picture, since a single positive marker doesn't confirm a diagnosis on its own. A standard lab report is available to download directly from your account for your records. You can also track any future related labs over time using the trends feature to see how your antibody levels change.

How can I naturally support liver health?

Cutting back on alcohol, limiting processed and fried foods, and staying at a healthy weight all reduce extra strain on your liver. Regular moderate exercise and staying well hydrated also support normal liver function. These habits won't treat an autoimmune condition on their own, but they can help reduce overall liver workload while you sort out next steps.

When will I get my results?

Results for this panel are typically ready within about 7 days of your sample being processed at the lab. Because this test includes multiple antibody assays and some involve reflex testing (like titers run automatically when an initial result is positive), it can take a few extra days compared to simpler blood tests. You'll get a notification as soon as your results are posted to your account.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for people currently living with hepatitis C who are considering antiviral treatment, since certain therapies aren't safe if autoimmune hepatitis is also present. It's also worth considering if you have ongoing unexplained liver inflammation or abnormal liver enzyme results and want to understand the underlying cause. People with a family history of autoimmune liver disease may also want this level of detail.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Fatigue, yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), joint pain, abdominal discomfort, and dark urine can all point to liver inflammation that deserves a closer look. If you already know you have hepatitis C and these symptoms show up or worsen, it may signal something beyond the viral infection alone. Unexplained itching and loss of appetite are also worth paying attention to.

What does a positive antibody result mean?

A positive result means your immune system has produced antibodies that are commonly seen in autoimmune hepatitis, but it doesn't automatically mean you have the condition since some of these antibodies also show up in other liver and autoimmune diseases. Certain antibodies, like the smooth muscle antibody or ANA, are more common, while others like SLA are highly specific to autoimmune hepatitis. The pattern and combination of positive results, along with your symptoms and history, gives the clearest picture.

What causes these antibodies to appear?

These antibodies show up when the immune system mistakenly identifies liver cells as a threat and begins attacking them. This can happen on its own, be triggered by viral infections like hepatitis C, or occur alongside other autoimmune conditions. Genetics and environmental triggers are both thought to play a role in why some people develop these antibodies and others don't.

How often should I retest?

If your first results are negative but you're starting hepatitis C treatment, your results notes may suggest a one-time baseline test is enough. If any markers come back positive or borderline, retesting every few months alongside liver function monitoring can help track whether levels are changing. Your specific retest timeline depends on your individual results and treatment plan.
