The Anti-Smith IgG (Sm) antibody test measures the concentration of antibodies against the Smith protein, which is important for diagnosing systemic lupus erythematosus. We use the Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) technique to ensure accurate and reliable results.
The sample must be serum (2 mL), free of hemolysis or lipemia. Avoid samples that are highly icteric or exposed to excessive heat, as these can alter the results. Inform staff about any medications or supplements you are taking.
