Reevaluating the clinical course of AMA-positive patients with normal liver enzymes: A large retrospective cohort study
AMA-positive individuals with normal liver enzymes typically experience a benign clinical course. However, high AMA titers identify a subgroup at increased risk for progression to PBC and advanced liver disease. These findings underscore the importance of risk-stratified surveillance strategies in clinical practice, guiding healthcare professionals in the management of their patients.
