Understanding SSA - RO (Soluble Substance A)- IgG antibody

The SSA - RO (Soluble Substance A)- IgG antibody test is used to detect autoantibodies directed against SS-A (Ro) antigens, which are proteins found inside cells that the immune system may mistakenly target. These antibodies are commonly seen in autoimmune diseases, especially Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The presence of these antibodies may also be associated with other connective tissue disorders.

The SSA - RO (Soluble Substance A)- IgG antibody test is often recommended when symptoms like dry eyes, dry mouth, joint pain, fatigue, or skin rashes are present. It is also useful during pregnancy to assess risk in women with autoimmune diseases, as SS-A antibodies may affect the fetus, causing issues like congenital heart block.

Detecting Anti-SS-A antibodies helps doctors support the diagnosis, distinguish between overlapping autoimmune conditions, and plan appropriate treatment.

No special preparation is required for the SSA - RO (Soluble Substance A)- IgG antibody test. Inform the doctor about all the medications and supplements being taken, as some of them may affect the test results. Your doctor may advise changes if needed before the test.

Test result ranges are approximate and may differ slightly between labs depending on the methodology and laboratory guidelines. Do not self-medicate and always consult a doctor to understand the test results correctly. 

Please note: This is an outsourced test. The sample is collected by TATA 1MG and processed at a NABL accredited partnered lab.
