Auto Immune Encephalitis Panel Serum Test

Introduction

The Auto Immune Encephalitis Panel Serum Test is a vital diagnostic tool used to identify autoimmune encephalitis, a condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy brain cells. This test has gained importance in clinical settings due to the rising incidence of autoimmune neurological disorders.

What the Test Measures

This test measures specific antibodies in the serum that are associated with autoimmune encephalitis, including:

• NMDA
• AMPA (GLUR 1 & GLUR 2)
• GABA -B
• LG1
• CASPR2

Who Should Consider This Test?

Individuals exhibiting neurological symptoms such as seizures, confusion, memory loss, or behavioral changes should consider this test. Risk factors include a history of autoimmune diseases or unexplained neurological symptoms.

Benefits of Taking the Test

• Early diagnosis of autoimmune encephalitis can lead to timely treatment.
• Helps neurologists determine the most effective treatment plan.
• Non-invasive sample collection with no special preparation required.

Understanding Your Results

Results from the Auto Immune Encephalitis Panel Serum Test will indicate the presence or absence of specific antibodies. A positive result may suggest autoimmune encephalitis, while a negative result may help rule out this diagnosis. It is essential to discuss your results with a healthcare provider for a comprehensive understanding.
