Various Diagnostic Approaches to Organ-specific Autoimmune Diseases

Organ-specific autoimmune diseases are a group of disorders that result from the production of autoantibodies targeting specific organs. While autoantibody test results are incorporated into the diagnostic criteria for some diseases, many clinically significant antibodies remain underutilized for treatment and monitoring. This symposium aims to enhance the understanding of the necessity and utility of testing for the diagnosis of various organ-specific autoimmune diseases.
