Official Title: HRR as a Novel Plasma Inflammatory Biomarker in Sjögren's Syndrome: Findings From a Case-control Study
Brief Summary:
Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by chronic salivary and lacrimal gland dysfunction leading to dry mouth (xerostomia) and dry eye (xerophthalmia) sensation (1). Although dry mouth and dry eye are the main symptoms, the disease may influence many organs and systems. Diagnosis is made with ocular surface staining scores, anti-SS-A/SS-B auto-antibody positivity, and minor salivary gland biopsy (2). The Complete blood count (CBC) is a simple, inexpensive, accessible, and routinely used…
