Test Overview

What is an ASMA Test in Rajkot?

The ASMA Test in Rajkot is a blood test that detects antibodies that target smooth muscle cells, particularly in the liver. These antibodies are known as anti-smooth muscle antibodies (ASMA) and are associated with Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH), a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy liver cells, causing inflammation and potential liver damage.

Doctors in Rajkot use this test to confirm autoimmune hepatitis, monitor treatment response, and differentiate it from other causes of liver dysfunction such as viral hepatitis, alcohol-related damage, or medication-induced injury.

What Does an ASMA Test Measure in Rajkot?

The ASMA Test measures the presence of autoantibodies that attack smooth muscle cells in organs like the liver and blood vessels.

It helps your doctor:

  • Detect Autoimmune Hepatitis (Type 1)
  • Differentiate autoimmune liver disease from viral or toxic causes
  • Identify primary biliary cirrhosis and autoimmune overlap syndromes
  • Monitor liver disease progression and response to treatment
  • Detect autoimmune triggers in unexplained liver inflammation
