Abstract
Abstract
Reduced salivary secretion is seen in Sjögren’s syndrome (SS), and also seen in Hypo-salivation (Non-SS). However, salivary gland damage is not seen in Non-SS, so, definitive diagnosis of SS requires pathological diagnosis with biopsy. They are invasive and give a physical burden on patients, so, pre-screening methods that distinguish between SS and Non-SS would be beneficial for patients. In this study, we investigated the difference of salivary biomarker between SS and Non-SS for to clarify characteristic feature in SS group and it would contribute to develop the pre-screening method.
