Do you need to check for anti-double-stranded DNA antibodies in dry syndrome?

Dry syndrome usually does not need to check anti-double-stranded DNA antibody, if you want to make a differential diagnosis of the disease, you need to check anti-double-stranded DNA antibody, dry syndrome usually need to check anti-SSA antibody, anti-SSB antibody and so on. Dry syndrome is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that mainly involves a variety of exocrine glands, and clinically it mainly manifests as dryness of the mouth and eyes. Autoantibody tests for patients with dry syndrome include rheumatoid factor, anti-SSA antibody, anti-SSB antibody, etc., and anti-double-stranded DNA antibody is usually not checked. Anti-double-stranded DNA antibody is a serologic marker of systemic lupus erythematosus, which needs to be differentiated from systemic lupus erythematosus in the diagnostic process of dry syndrome, so it is necessary to check anti-double-stranded DNA antibody. Tests for patients with dry syndrome also include lacrimal gland function tests, salivary gland function measurements, and lip gland biopsies.
