What source is this chart from?
This chart is an adaptation from one of my text books, The Principles and Practice of Medicine, 23rd ed. Originally published by Appleton & Lange, 1996
Thank you! My anti-SCL-70 antibody test is positive but all other antibody tests are negative. This is the first thing I've seen that relates the anti-SCL-70 to Sjogrens.
I hope to get my test results next week. :)
Thanks
Can you post an explanation for each of the autoantibodies? I know what the ANA, Anti SSA, SSB and RF are, but do not know what the others are.
Thanks.
I'm pretty new to SS and new to this site. I would also like an explanation since I am positive for SSA & SSB and my RA Factor is high (184....range is 0-13.9), my C3 is low (81 .... range from 90-180) and C4 is normal (18....range 9-36). My rheumatologist didn't suspect RA.
Linda,
thanks for the chart! i just seen my rheumy(his partner) because i had a High ANA 1:40 speckled and a positive sjogrens AB (SSB). i originally went to the practice 2 years ago with a high Ana and the other doc was abrupt (i was told to go) i never had the Sjogrens AB test done previously through independent labs sand same results 2 years later. when the rheumy saw my newest labs he said be prepaired to go on medication,and he drew other labs (cpk,adolace,g6pd, &compliment CH50). I have been diagnosed with ms almost for 10 years and the ms injections have no effect on mr ever but doing them like i should. ms and Sjogrens have the same issues even brain lesions during a flare. Makes me think ::) i asked the rheumy if i could of had sjogrens all along instead of ms and he said there is a possibility. i dont know if you can have both.
thank you,
camille
Thank you for posting this chart. I think it is very helpful.

Linda: I am asking a question to which I should know the answer. You can see/tell I am a newbie. I saw my rheumatologist yesterday for the second time. I was seen/tested first of Dec. He called a week later to confirm positive for SS (primary). I've lived on this board pretty much since then.
He told me yesterday I tested positive for "all three" antibodies for SS. I thought there were more..then decided he meant for primary type. My question is this: are the antibodies he is referring to ANA and SS-A and SS-B? I know you are wondering, well..why didn't she ask the doctor. Well..there was SO much information he was giving me...and he had been so surprised...believing I has Sicca Complex...that I just never got back to it. Carolina suggested that I get a copy of my report-and I shall. There is just SO much. Can you help me?
Good to see this chart. Since I don't have any autoantibodies, I've never paid much attention, I have to say.
But something like this is so helpful!
Hugs, Elaine

@ccourt, my first instinct would be to include the anti-RNP with the anti-SSa and SSb. The ANA is very non-specific, and usually just leads the doctor to determine that there is an immune condition.
The anti-RNP is more commonly associated with Lupus, but often shows up in Sjogren's, without being paired with the anti-SM that indicates Lupus. It seems to be an indicator of Raynaud's when present in Lupus patients, just as a point of interest.
He may also have meant the Rheumatoid Factor (RF) which, despite its name, is not a specific indicator of Rheumatoid Arthritis. RF shows up in a number of autoimmune diseases when there is joint involvement.
I completely understand the information overload situation, and it sounds like your doctor was experiencing a bit of the same, seeing results he wasn't prepared for!
Thx...that was a great answer. You specified re: the arthritic markers...and that is what I was (in my pea brain) denying. So it confused me. Thx so much.

I can't seem to make the chart bigger.
Thnanks for bringing that to my attention, AndyFel. not sure why clicking on it isn't working, but if you aren't on a phone, you can right click on it, open in a new tab or window, and it will be greatly enlarged.
May I know the source so that we can go through the page?
I apologise, I wasn't aware that the 3rd party host I was using has disabled that function, and as a result the chart is no longer available until I find another host. The original is from a text book from my nursing days, not on line as far as I know.
The counter RNP is the majority of the more all things considered related with Lupus, anyway frequently shows up in Sjogren's, without being blended with the legal steroids (https://www.clevescene.com/cleveland/best-legal-steroids-for-sale-2022-buyers-guide-legal-steroids-gnc/Content?oid=37758814) rad 140 for sale (https://dailyiowan.com/2022/02/08/rad-140-sarms-testolone-review-results-side-effects/) over the counter phentermine (https://dailyiowan.com/2022/03/11/phentermine-alternatives-best-over-the-counter-phentermine-37-5-mg-alternatives-weight-loss-pills-and-supplements/) ibutamoren (https://www.jpost.com/promocontent/ibutamoren-mk-677-results-mk-677-dosage-side-effects-before-and-after-695157) counter SM that demonstrates Lupus. It's by methods for all bills a marker of Raynaud's when present in Lupus sufferers, along these lines as a point of interest.
Very good and helpful information.
