Antiphospholipid Antibodies (aPL) as Prognostic Markers

While antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) are traditionally used diagnostically in the context of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) or lupus erythematosus (SLE), a 10-year cohort study published in The American Journal of Medicine (2026) now demonstrates their prognostic significance. The study shows that aPL positivity—independent of APS or SLE—is a strong predictor of long-term mortality and hospital readmission. […]

AI-Based ANA HEp-2 IFA Interpretation: Clinical Validation in Routine Diagnostics

Antinuclear antibody (ANA) testing by indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) on HEp-2 cells remains the gold standard screening method for systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARD), including systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis and Sjögren’s syndrome. However, manual interpretation of ANA HEp-2 IFA patterns is time-consuming, operator-dependent and subject to inter-observer variability. A recent large-scale study published in […]

Serological Biomarkers in Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis (PSC): Focus on anti-GP2 IgA

Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a chronic, progressive inflammatory disease affecting the bile ducts and often leading to fibrosis, cirrhosis, and eventually liver failure. PSC also carries an increased risk of hepatobiliary malignancies, particularly cholangiocarcinoma. Despite significant research efforts, PSC remains difficult to diagnose and manage because its pathogenesis is not fully understood and reliable […]
