Test Overview & Methodology
The Sjögren’s Syndrome Antibodies Test quantitatively measures anti-SS-A (Ro) and anti-SS-B (La) autoantibodies using Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA), delivering a same-day report that confirms the serological hallmark of primary or secondary Sjögren’s syndrome. Early detection enables rheumatologists to differentiate sicca symptoms from other autoimmune or endocrinologic mimics, guide immunosuppressive therapy, and prevent serious systemic complications such as interstitial lung disease, renal tubular acidosis, or lymphoma.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"I am committed to delivering precise serological data that supports your clinical judgment. This panel should be interpreted in conjunction with a thorough history, Schirmer’s test, salivary gland biopsy, and other serologic markers (ANA, RF, anti-CCP) to avoid over-diagnosis or under-diagnosis."
