Match each of the following autoimmune gastrointestinal or hepatobiliary disorders with its most highly associated and diagnostically useful autoantibody marker.

  • Primary biliary cholangitisAnti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA)
  • Primary sclerosing cholangitisPerinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (p-ANCA)
  • Autoimmune hepatitis (Type 1)Anti-smooth muscle antibodies (ASMA)
  • Celiac diseaseAnti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG) antibodies

Cevap

Primary biliary cholangitis matches with anti-mitochondrial antibodies. Primary sclerosing cholangitis matches with p-ANCA. Autoimmune hepatitis matches with anti-smooth muscle antibodies. Celiac disease matches with anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies.
Each autoimmune disease of the gastrointestinal tract and liver has specific, highly associated autoantibodies that aid in diagnosis, as correctly paired above.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the diagnostic serology for Primary biliary cholangitis.
Matches with Anti-mitochondrial antibodies (AMA).
AMA is the hallmark serologic marker for PBC, found in the vast majority of patients with the disease.
2
Identify the diagnostic serology for Primary sclerosing cholangitis.
Matches with Perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (p-ANCA).
PSC is closely linked to inflammatory bowel disease, particularly ulcerative colitis, and shares the characteristic p-ANCA serology.
3
Identify the diagnostic serology for Autoimmune hepatitis (Type 1).
Matches with Anti-smooth muscle antibodies (ASMA).
Type 1 autoimmune hepatitis is classically diagnosed in part by the presence of ASMA and/or ANA in the serum.
4
Identify the diagnostic serology for Celiac disease.
Matches with Anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG) antibodies.
Anti-tTG IgA is the preferred initial screening test for patients suspected of having celiac disease due to its high sensitivity and specificity.
