How Is Sjögren's Syndrome Diagnosed?

Diagnosis involves:

  • Blood Tests: To check for specific autoantibodies, such as anti-SSA (Ro) and anti-SSB (La).
  • Schirmer’s Test: Measures tear production to assess eye dryness.
  • Salivary Gland Biopsy: A small tissue sample is taken to check for inflammation or damage.
