^aP < 0.05 vs the PBC group. DILI: Drug-induced liver injury; PBC: Primary biliary cirrhosis; ANA: Antinuclear antibody; AMA: Antimitochondrial antibody; SMA: Anti-smooth muscle antibody.

Table 8 Comparison of ANA at different titers between typed drug-induced liver injury and primary biliary cirrhosis patients n (%)

	1:100	1:320	1:1000	1:3200	1:10000
Hepatocellular type DILI (n = 90)	34 (37.7)^a	7 (7.77)^a	1 (1.11)^a	0^a	0

^aP < 0.05 vs the PBC group. Since the number of cases with ANA at a titer of 1:10000 was 0 in the hepatocellular type DILI, cholestatic type DILI, and mixed type DILI groups, comparisons between them cannot be done. DILI: Drug-induced liver injury; PBC: Primary biliary cirrhosis.
