Connective Tissue Disease Screen

Connective Tissue Disease Screen


The Connective Tissue Disease Screen looks for autoantibodies in your blood that may attack your body’s own tissues. These antibodies are often present in autoimmune conditions such as systemic lupus erythematosus, Sjögren’s syndrome, scleroderma, and related disorders. This test is commonly recommended if you have symptoms such as joint pain, fatigue, muscle weakness, or unexplained inflammation.
