A member asked:
My lab testing for primary sjogrens (ssa, ssb) came back as not applicable. is this the same as negative? the ana test said negative. i'm confused
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not applicable: Sometimes, depending on the lab, the whole panel including SSA, SSB is not run, being conditional on a positive ANA. It sounds like this was the case in your case. Hope it helps.
