Anti-mitochondrial antibody (AMA) is not always present in patients with primary biliary cholangitis (PBC). We aimed to determine the additional value of anti-hexokinase 1 (anti-HK1) and anti-kelch-like 12 (anti-KLHL12) antibody in PBC and analyzed the biochemical and immunological parameters of 212 subjects, including PBC patients and healthy controls.
