Designed to detect test evaluates patients at risk for connective tissue disease, including those with interstitial lung disease and those without it. SS-A/Ro is an extractable nuclear antigen made up of two proteins: Ro52 and Ro60, along with cytoplasmic ribonucleic acid (RNA). Antibodies against SS-A/Ro (Ro52 and/or Ro60) are found in various connective tissue diseases (CTD), including Sjögren's syndrome (SS), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis (SSc), and idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM). The SS-A/Ro antibodies are also found in childhood SLE, neonatal SLE, and congenital heart block in infants born to mothers with SLE. Therefore, the presence of the SS-A-Ro antibodies can be detected using the SS-A/Ro Antibody test. While the SS-A/Ro antibodies are frequently found together, each autoantibody has unique and significant diagnostic and predictive characteristics. Therefore, it is important to differentiate them when the SS-A/Ro antibody is positive or tested individually. If you live in Mumbai and are concerned if you may have a CTD you can schedule the SS-A/Ro Antibody test to give you insights into your health status., the Antibody test uses advanced methods.
