Common diagnostic tests for lupus include:

2. Anti-DsDNA Antibody Test: This specifically measures antibodies against double-stranded DNA, commonly found in lupus patients.

3. Anti-Smith (Sm) Antibody Test: This detects anti-Smith antibodies, which are highly specific to lupus.

4. Anti-Ro (SSA) and Anti-La (SSB) Antibody Tests: These tests check for antibodies associated with conditions like Sjögren's syndrome, commonly seen in lupus.

5. Complete Blood Count (CBC): This assesses red and white blood cell counts and platelet levels, which can indicate abnormalities in lupus.

6. Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR): This test measures the rate at which red blood cells settle in a tube, indicating inflammation in the body, including lupus.

1. Serum ferritin level: Measures the amount of iron stored in the body.
2. Transferrin saturation: Assesses the percentage of transferrin protein saturated with iron.
3. Genetic testing: Identifies specific gene mutations associated with hereditary hemochromatosis.
4. Liver function tests: Evaluate liver health and assess for signs of iron overload.
