What is SS-A/ Ro Antibodies (of ANA), Serum?

This test detects specific autoantibodies, SS-A/Ro, in your blood. These antibodies are often found in people with certain autoimmune diseases, where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues.

Why is this test important?

The presence of SS-A/Ro antibodies is commonly associated with Sjogren's syndrome and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It can help in diagnosing these conditions and assessing the risk of neonatal lupus in pregnant individuals.

How to Prepare
