Description
The LE (lupus erythematosus) cells test is a diagnostic tool used to detect the presence of certain antibodies in the blood, which are associated with autoimmune diseases like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The test involves examining blood cells under a microscope to see if there are any "LE cells," which are white blood cells that have engulfed the antibody-coated material. Finding LE cells can indicate the presence of an autoimmune disorder, particularly SLE.
