Description

Liver-Kidney Microsome IgG antibody (anti-LKM), as detected by indirect immunofluorescent antibody (IFA) techniques, may be observed in patients with autoimmune hepatitis type 2 (AIH-2), AIH-2 associated with autoimmune polyendocrinopathy-candidiasis-ectodermal dystrophy (APECED), viral hepatitis C or D, and some forms of drug-induced hepatitis. This IFA does not differentiate among the four types of LKM antibodies (LKM-1, LKM-2, LKM-3, and a fourth type that recognizes CYP1A2 and CYP2A6 antigens). Of these, anti-LKM-1 (cytochrome P450IID6) IgG antibodies are considered specific for AIH-2. Source: ARUP Laboratories, LKM IgG
