Test Code PNEFC Neuroimmunology Antibody Follow-up, Spinal Fluid

Reporting Name

Neuroimmunology Ab Follow-up, CSF

Useful For

Monitoring patients who have previously tested positive for 1 or more antibodies within the past 5 years in a Mayo Clinic Neuroimmunology Laboratory spinal fluid evaluation

Performing Laboratory

Mayo Clinic Laboratories in Rochester

Specimen Type

CSF


Ordering Guidance


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

-DMC2 / Dementia, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Spinal Fluid

-ENC2 / Encephalopathy, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Spinal Fluid

-EPC2 / Epilepsy, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

-MAC1 / Myelopathy, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Spinal Fluid

-MDC2 / Movement Disorder, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Spinal Fluid

-PCDEC / Pediatric Autoimmune Encephalopathy/CNS Disorder Evaluation, Spinal Fluid

-SPPC / Stiff-Person Spectrum Disorders/PERM Evaluation, Spinal Fluid

 

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.
