Autoimmune liver disease test

Hi all,

I just want to get a test to rule out a.i liver disease, but most places just test liver function (not antibodies). Has anyone found a test online somewhere?

Thanks!

Hepatitis is the only common liver disease I've heard of and it comes in various forms, including autoimmune :

Have you asked your doctor to test you?

I wanted to, but next available appointment isn’t until mid July, so I wondered about going private.

Ah, this looks like your best bet :

regeneruslabs.com/products/...

and these tests from the same website mention liver :

I would suggest asking on the HU liver site rather than this thyroid one, as the members there will have a raft of personal experience of liver issues and will be able to give you specific advice and medical links.

It is backed by the British Liver Trust, which you can also look up directly. If you are thinking of AH testing, your GP will normally only consider this in specific circumstances as it is quite rare. Symptoms are usually quite obvious, and will result in abnormal levels in s kidney function test. If you can't speak to a GP or email your concerns to them, I would get in touch with the British Liver Trust. I hope you find the answers you need soon.

Not what you're looking for?
