General lab test information
-
Lab tests online.
Good general info, but not specific for Sjogren’s and does not cover SS-A and SS-B. There is a good, brief definition autoantibodies on this site. However, their comments about CRP and ESR in Sjogren’s are inaccurate. https://labtestsonline.org/tests-index
