Notes

Antibody results should not be used alone for diagnosis and must be interpreted in light of clinical manifestations and other test results.
SS-A/Ro antibodies are significant for the clinical diagnosis of SLE (prevalence 40-50%) and Sjogren’s syndrome (prevalence 60-75%). Anti SS-A/Ro may be the only antibody present in many patients with SLE or Sjogren’s syndrome.
