An **Anti-Smooth Muscle Antibody (ASMA)** test is a blood test primarily used to help diagnose **Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH)**, a chronic condition where the body’s immune system attacks its own liver cells.
The test detects autoantibodies that target actin and other components of the cellular cytoskeleton within smooth muscle tissue.
High levels or titers of ASMA are strongly associated with Type 1 Autoimmune Hepatitis. When combined with other diagnostic findings, like elevated liver enzymes, a positive ASMA result is crucial for differentiating autoimmune liver diseases from other causes of liver injury, such as viral hepatitis or fatty liver disease.
