SERUM AMYLOID A PROTEIN

The serum amyloid A (SAA) protein test measures the level of SAA, an acute-phase protein, in the blood. Elevated SAA levels can indicate inflammation, infection, or chronic inflammatory diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. This test is used to diagnose and monitor inflammatory conditions, assess disease activity, and guide treatment decisions. The SAA protein test provides valuable information for managing inflammatory diseases, ensuring timely intervention, and preventing complications associated with elevated SAA levels.
