¿Es la biopsia de labio la única forma de diagnosticar el SS? Mi otorrino dijo que lo era, ¿duele?
Hi Heather,
Mine was diagnosed by blood test, and yes I have heard that the lip biopsy is painful.

¿Qué análisis de sangre te hicieron, me refiero si era suero o algo así, porque yo me hice un hemograma y no salió nada en ese.
Hi Heather,
I had ANA, SCR, related blood tests that would indicate inflammatory markers for RA, Sjorgrens to include
Serum tests SS-A Ab SS-B Ab
Raised markers would include ESR, CRP and White cell count.
Your GP or RA consultant should be able know what blood tests will include these.
Regards,
Mandy
Endoso la lista de análisis de sangre de Mandy. Tengo lupus eritematoso sistémico (LES) durante 31 años y nunca me han realizado una biopsia de labio, ya que mis análisis de sangre y síntomas son tan concluyentes. La biopsia de labio puede ser recomendada si los análisis de sangre no son concluyentes y el médico necesita más confirmación.
I had the blood work done to check ANA but it was boarderline. My symptoms were so severe my doctor diagnosed sjogrens. My dr. didn't feel the need to do a lip biopsy, but she knows me very well as I've been going to her for the last 20 years with fibromyalgia. Make sure you see a rheumatologist as I really think they're more knowledgable as they see sjogrens more often
Hi Heather,
So many good replies...I only add the ANA stands for Anti-Nuclear-Antibody...you can research what kind of test it is, and what it can tell you.
Good luck,
Sally
