What Are The Chances That My Bloodwork Had A False Positive?
My bloodwork revealed a positive for AMA - suggesting Primary Biliary cirrhosis. I am scheduled for a biopsy and want to know what the chances are that my bloodwork had a "false" positive. I have also been a heavy drinker for the last 5 years. I am a middle aged female.

In your conditions chances of falsr positivity is low. You have perfect history for pbc. Still go for liver biopsy. It will tell you exactly whether you have primary biliary cirrhosis or not. Go for biopsy
