Interpreting Anti-SLA Test Results
Note: Test results should always be interpreted by a healthcare professional in combination with other clinical findings.
The Anti-SLA test helps diagnose autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks liver cells. It is useful when other tests, such as liver function tests or anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA), do not provide a clear diagnosis.
The test involves a routine blood draw, so the risks are minimal. You may experience mild pain, bruising, or swelling at the injection site, but serious complications are rare.
No special preparation is required for the Anti-SLA test. However, inform your doctor about any medications you're taking, as some can affect test results.
A blood sample is drawn from your arm and sent to a lab where the presence of anti-SLA antibodies is detected using specific assays, like ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay).
