anti-ss DNA for confirmation of SLE
1 biomarker as listed by Blue Horizon Medicals.
Single Stranded DNA antibodies (anti-ssDNA) are found in around 50% of those with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and while not so sensitive it is more specific than ANA, and is associated with more severe forms of this condition. It is not so useful in the investigation of other autoimmune disorders owing to the fact that it is found in a number of conditions.

This test analyses key inflammation biomarkers such as high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), ferritin and grip strength.
What is an Autoimmune & Immune Response Test? An ANA (antinuclear antibody) test is a widely used clinical tool that helps assess whether the immune system may be reacting against the body's own cells.
Curious if low-level inflammation might be affecting your health? A High-Sensitivity CRP Blood Test measures tiny amounts of C-reactive protein, which can help you understand underlying inflammation that may influence your long-term risk of heart disease and other conditions.
