If you chose test for AMA, you are correct! 🎉
🚩95% of those w/ #PBC 👉AMAs
🧩Pts lacking AMA 👉look for other PBC-specific antinuclear antibodies (ANAs)
🔎Dx of asymptomatic pts begins w/ incidental detection of abnormal liver values, esp ALP
⛔Typically dx w/o biopsy

🤔What would you do?
Amanda 👉 49yo Hispanic♀️ w/ family hx of #PBC & clinical hx of fibromyalgia & major depressive disorder. She reports no PBC sx. at appt today, but bloodwork shows ⬆️ ALP.
🔎Which of the following would be the best next step?
100%Test for AMA
0%Liver biopsy
0%Follow up 6-mos
0%Follow up 1-yr
