Brief Answer:
Explained

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.

Based on these labs your doctor is mainly looking for primary biliary cirrhosis evidence. Whether there is any evidence of damage to liver would be found on ultrasound.

AMA and ANA are positive which are consistent with findings in PBC. Liver biopsy is the best test to confirm the diagnosis.

There is no specific treatment that would reverse the PBC. Bile sequestering meds are used with variable results. UV light is used for treating associated pruritis.

Liver transplant can be considered at a later stage.

Wishing you best of health

Thanks
