Comparisons of Anti-dsDNA Antibody Detection Methods by Chemiluminescent Immunoassay and Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

This study aimed to compare the test results of anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) antibodies obtained using chemiluminescent immunoassay (CIA) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and investigate predictors of inconsistent results. This retrospective study included 502 patients who und...
