Understanding Anti SS-B Antibody in Hyderabad
What is Anti SS-B Antibody in Hyderabad?
The Anti SS-B ( Sjögren Syndrome-B) antibody test is one of the most important tests used in evaluating patients with connective tissue disease. This serological test is especially recommended in those patients with a positive antinuclear antibody test and those with symptoms of lupus and Sjögren syndrome.
A positive interpretation of the Anti SS-B antibody test means that the patient can be positive for connective tissue disorder or for conditions like Sjögren syndrome, Lupus erythematosus, alopecia, cheek erythema and rheumatoid arthritis. The positive test results usually indicate low neutrophil and leukocyte count and high IgG levels in the blood. The test results usually take between 1-3 days. The test helps in early detection of any autoimmune disease in the body and doctors can decide the early course of treatment.
