Test Code PNEFS Neuroimmunology Antibody Follow-up, Serum

Reporting Name

Neuroimmunology Ab Follow-up, S

Useful For

Monitoring patients who have previously tested positive for one or more antibodies within the past 5 years in a Mayo Neuroimmunology Laboratory serum evaluation

Performing Laboratory

Mayo Clinic Laboratories in Rochester

Specimen Type

Serum


Ordering Guidance


This test is only appropriate for follow-up in patients who have previously tested positive in a serum test. If patients have not previously been positive in a serum test, order one of the following:

 

-AIAES / Axonal Neuropathy, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

-CDS1 / CNS Demyelinating Disease Evaluation, Serum

-CIDP / Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy/Nodopathy Eval, Serum

-DYS2 / Dysautonomia, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

-DMS2 / Dementia, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

-ENS2 / Encephalopathy, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

-EPS2 / Epilepsy, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

-GID2 / Gastrointestinal Dysmotility, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

-MAS1 / Myelopathy, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

-MDS2 / Movement Disorder, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

-MGLE / Myasthenia Gravis/Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome Evaluation, Serum

-MGMR / Myasthenia Gravis Evaluation with Muscle-Specific Kinase (MuSK) Reflex, Serum

-NMS1 / Necrotizing Myopathy Evaluation, Serum

-PCDES / Pediatric Autoimmune Encephalopathy/CNS Disorder Evaluation, Serum

-SPPS / Stiff-Person Spectrum Disorders/PERM Evaluation, Serum

 

This test should not be requested in patients who have recently received radioisotopes, therapeutically or diagnostically, because of potential assay interference. The specific waiting period before specimen collection will depend on the isotope administered, the dose given, and the clearance rate in the individual patient. Specimens will be screened for radioactivity prior to analysis. Radioactive specimens received in the laboratory will be held 1 week and assayed if sufficiently decayed or canceled if radioactivity remains.
