Hi guys, I was wondering if any of you have heard of this? For whatever reason, a while back I had an Anti Smooth Muscle antibody(ASMA) taken. I think that's what its called. I brought it up to my GI and he was very disturbed by the results. It was 1:360. He is redoing the test and said he may have to take a liver biopsy! My ALT and AST has been fine, but that may not seem to matter. I understand that Autoimmune Hepatites can be very scary. A liver biopsy in itself is risky. UC and autoimmune hep can go hand in hand. Just wondering if any of you may have this, or have ever had a liver biopsy. Thanks,
Donna
