Frequently Asked Questions

What does LC-1 antibody test measure?

It detects autoantibodies against liver cytosolic antigen type-1, primarily associated with autoimmune hepatitis type 2 (AIH-2), especially in children and young adults.

Is fasting required for this test?

No, fasting is not required. Serum sample can be collected at any time of day.

What does a positive LC-1 antibody result mean?

A positive result suggests autoimmune hepatitis type 2. It is highly specific but less sensitive, meaning it confirms AIH-2 when positive but a negative result does not fully rule it out.

How is the sample collected?

A standard venous blood draw of approximately 1 mL into a serum separator tube is required.

Can LC-1 antibodies be found without autoimmune hepatitis?

Rarely, low-titer LC-1 antibodies may appear in other autoimmune conditions or viral hepatitis, but high-titer positivity is strongly indicative of AIH type 2.
