Soluble Liver Antigen Test
Soluble Liver Antigen Test: Autoimmune Liver Disease Marker
Direct answer: The soluble liver antigen (SLA) test detects SLA autoantibodies in blood to help diagnose autoimmune hepatitis and related liver immune disorders.
Soluble liver antigen is a liver-specific protein targeted by autoantibodies when the immune system mistakenly attacks liver tissue. The presence of SLA antibodies is strongly associated with autoimmune hepatitis, a condition causing chronic liver inflammation. This test is advised when unexplained liver enzyme elevation, fatigue or suspected immune-mediated liver disease is being evaluated. Sample collection is available through our Home Collection Facility across Pune or at our Direct Walk-in Facility in Aundh and nearby areas.
Why is the SLA test advised?
Direct answer: This test helps confirm autoimmune hepatitis when liver inflammation is suspected.
Positive SLA antibodies support the diagnosis of autoimmune liver disease and help doctors plan appropriate treatment. Results are often interpreted alongside ANA, SMA and liver function tests. Learn more about liver-related diagnostics in our health articles, view sample guidance in test preparation guides, or compare liver health profiles on comparison resources.
