About this test
This test is used to detect autoantibodies that are commonly found in people with autoimmune diseases, such as lupus or Sjögren's syndrome. Autoimmune conditions occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's tissues. If you have unexplained symptoms such as joint pain, fatigue, or dry eyes, this test can help identify potential underlying causes.

This test expands on hsCRP, Ferritin, and grip strength by also measuring Omega-3 Index, Omega 6:3 ratio, and ARA/EPA ratio to help assess the inflammatory potential of your fatty acid profile.
Smooth Muscle Antibodies Blood Test
Concerned about autoimmune liver disease? This test detects smooth muscle antibodies (SMA), which can indicate autoimmune hepatitis, a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the liver, helping to differentiate symptoms from other liver conditions.
