Write answer in between .Q:A 50-year-old woman comes to the physician for the evaluation of fatigue over the past 6 months. During this period, the patient has also had a 5 kg 11-lb weight loss. She has a history of Hashimoto thyroiditis. She is sexually active with her husband only. She does not smoke. She drinks one glass of wine per day. She does not use illicit drugs. Her only medication is levothyroxine. Temperature is 37C 98.6F, pulse is 70min, and blood pressure is 11070 mm Hg. Abdominal examination shows tenderness in the right upper quadrant with no rebound or guarding. Laboratory studies show a serum alanine aminotransferase level of 190 UL, serum aspartate aminotransferase level of 250 UL, and serum total bilirubin level of 0.6 mgdL. Liver biopsy shows plasma cell infiltration and areas of periportal piecemeal necrosis. Further evaluation of this patient is most likely to show which of the following findings?? A: Positive anti-smooth muscle antibodies, B: Positive anti-mitochondrial antibodies, C: Positive HBV surface antigen, D: Elevated serum transferrin saturation, E: Positive anti-HCV antibodies,  <response>: This is a clinical vignette describing a 50-year-old woman with fatigue, weight loss, and abnormal liver function tests. She has a history of Hashimotos thyroiditis and is on levothyroxine. The liver biopsy shows plasma cell infiltration and periportal necrosis. The key findings are:- Fatigue and weight loss - suggests systemic illness- History of autoimmune thyroiditis - raises suspicion for autoimmune liver disease - Abnormal LFTs with elevated ALT and AST - indicates hepatocellular injury- Liver biopsy shows plasma cells and periportal necrosis - supports diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitisThe question asks which test is most likely to be positive in further evaluation. Given the autoimmune features, autoantibody testing is indicated. Anti-smooth muscle antibodies are positive in up to 80 of patients with autoimmune hepatitis. Anti-mitochondrial antibodies are associated with primary biliary cholangitis rather than autoimmune hepatitis. Hepatitis B and C serologies would not explain the autoimmune features. Elevated serum transferrin saturation would suggest hemochromatosis, which does not fit with the clinical presentation.Therefore, the most likely positive finding is anti-smooth muscle antibodies, supporting a diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis.A: Positive anti-smooth muscle antibodies
