Analysis on autoantibodies spectrum of Uygur patients with autoimmune liver disease in Xinjiang / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To analyze the positive rate of autoantibodies in Xinjiang Uygur patients with different types of auto‐immune liver disease and its diagnostic value .Methods Fifty‐one Uygur outpatients and inpatients with of autoimmune liver disease in our hospital from October 2012 to October 2014 were selected ,including 20 cases of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH ,AIH group) and 31 cases of primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC ,PBC group) .The indirect immunofluorescence and Western blotting were used to detect the serum biochemical indexes and autoantobodies ,and the comparative analysis was performed .Results The levels of various bio‐chemical indexes in the two groups were increased ,in which ALT ,γ‐GT ,ALP and IgM levels had statistical difference between the two groups(P<0 .05) .The positive rates of ANA ,SMA ,LKM‐1 antibody ,LC‐1 antibody ,SDLA/LP antibody and AMA in the AIH group were 65 .0% ,40 .0% ,10 .0% ,5 .0% ,10 .0% and 5 .0% respectively ;the positive rates of ANA ,AMA and M2 subtype (AMA‐M2) in the PBC group were 61 .3% ,100 .0% and 96 .8% respectively .Conclusion The autoantibodies spectrum in Xinjiang Uygur patients with autoimmune liver diseases has certain characteristics .The autoantibodies spectrum detection has an important significance for the diagnosis ,classification and differential diagnosis of autoimmune liver diseases .
