Brief Answer:
they should be negative...

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA) should be negative. Patients with primary biliary cirrhosis are commonly positive (95%) in AMA-M2. Few patients may only have AMA-M9. Any positive AMA is a good reason for concern.

Kind Regards!

Brief Answer:
no worries

Detailed Answer:
Unless you had positive AMA there is no need to worry about it. We've talked about it recently and your case is almost certainly Gilbert's syndrome.

Kind Regards!
