ASMA Test Overview
ASMA stands for an anti-smooth muscle antibody test. It is a blood test that is used to detect autoantibodies, i.e., antibodies formed by your body to attack your body cells. ASMA detects autoantibodies made against smooth muscle cells, often in the liver.
Why is ASMA Used?
Anti-smooth muscle antibodies attack the liver's smooth muscle tissue cells. The condition may lead to diseases like autoimmune hepatitis and primary biliary cirrhosis. Early diagnosis helps in treating the disease by giving immunosuppressive drugs; otherwise, the condition may lead to severe liver damage. Smooth muscle antibodies can be found in diseases like:
- Infectious mononucleosis
- Autoimmune hepatitis
- Rheumatic disease
- Different cancers
Autoantibodies are antibodies produced against the body's own healthy cells and tissues causing various medical conditions. Anti-smooth muscle Antibody[ASKA] are antibodies produced against the smooth muscles of the body especially in the liver causing hepatitis and liver disorders.
