anti-SSA/Ro antibodies

Anti-SSA/Ro antibodies are special proteins produced by the immune system that mistakenly target the body's own cells, especially in the skin and tissues. They are often associated with autoimmune conditions like Sjögren’s syndrome and lupus. When present, these antibodies can lead to symptoms such as dry eyes, dry mouth, skin rashes, and more serious complications. Detecting these antibodies helps doctors diagnose and manage these autoimmune diseases, guiding appropriate treatment to reduce tissue damage and improve quality of life.
