Eighteen patients with actin specific antibodies

Patient	Sex	Age	IgG	IgA	IgM	ANA result	SMA	DNA abs	Alb	AST	Bili	ALP
Normal ranges incorporating ranges from three different hospitals: IgG, 5–16; IgA, 0.7–4.0; IgM, 0.4–2.3; Alb, 32–51; ALP, 40–159; ALT, 10–36; AST, 5–40; bilirubin, 0–23. IgG, IgA, IgM, and albumin were measured in units of g/l; AST, ALT, and ALP were measured in units of IU/l; bili was measured in units of μmole/l. *Liver biopsy performed; †ALT measured instead of AST.
ANA, antinuclear antibodies; Alb, albumin; ALP, alkaline phosphatase; ALT, alanine amino transferase; AST, aspartate amino transferase; Bili, bilirubin; SMA, smooth muscle actin.
