Common Autoantibodies and Disease Associations
Systemic autoantibodies
Listed below are just some of the more common autoantibodies that are used to identify a variety of systemic autoimmune disorders. These disorders cause inflammatory, arthritis-type symptoms. We have created a table that identifies whether each autoantibody test is generally positive or negative with several of these disorders. Click
