Sialochemistry has been proposed as a simple and useful tool for the diagnosis of Sjögren syndrome (SS). Although many changes have been detected in several constituents of saliva from patients with SS, none are individually sensitive or specific enough for diagnosing SS. The aim of this study was to assess the value of the combined determination of beta2-microglobulin (beta2m) and gamma-glutamyl-transferase (GGT) activity in serum and saliva as a diagnostic instrument for differentiating primary and secondary [to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)] SS patients from normal subjects.
