What Is A Anti Smooth Muscle Antibody Mean?

Can you please tell me what a positive anti smooth muscle test result means and why it would be positive.
Autoimmune disease involving liver
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Anti smooth muscle antibody is autoimmune disease indicator that likely involves liver. Autoimmune hepatitis, primary biliary cirrhosis, hepatitis b and c, primary sclerosing cholangitis are some of the conditions in which it may show up.
immunoglobulin levels, antinuclear antibody, anti–liver kidney microsomal antibody (anti-LKM), and liver cytosol antibody type 1 (anti-LC1) etc are a few other antibody titre tests that will be done to confirm the etiology and then treat accordingly.
Just talk to a rheumatologist or a hepatologist and they will take care of it. I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
