ANTI NMO NEUROMYELITIS OPTICA PANEL SERUM Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the ANTI NMO NEUROMYELITIS OPTICA PANEL SERUM test to help diagnose and differentiate neuromyelitis optica (NMO) from other similar conditions. This test detects the presence of specific antibodies associated with NMO, which primarily affects the optic nerves and spinal cord, leading to severe vision loss and paralysis.
Test Details
The ANTI NMO NEUROMYELITIS OPTICA PANEL SERUM test includes the detection of antibodies against aquaporin-4 (AQP4), a protein found in the central nervous system. The presence of these antibodies is highly indicative of NMO. The test involves taking a blood sample from the patient, which is then sent to our laboratory for analysis.
Our experienced laboratory technicians use cell-based assay and immunofluorescence techniques to detect the presence of anti-AQP4 antibodies in the serum. The test is crucial in confirming the presence of specific antibodies associated with NMO and can aid in differentiating NMO from other conditions with similar symptoms.
Test Cost
The cost of the ANTI NMO NEUROMYELITIS OPTICA PANEL SERUM test is AED 1520.0.
Sample Condition
We require a minimum of 2 mL (0.5 mL min.) of serum from 1 SST. Please ensure that the sample is shipped refrigerated or frozen to maintain its integrity.
Report Delivery
Samples received by Tuesday or Friday before 9 am will have the report delivered on the same day.
Test Department
The ANTI NMO NEUROMYELITIS OPTICA PANEL SERUM test is conducted in our IMMUNOPATHOLOGY department.
Pre Test Information
No special preparation is needed before undergoing the ANTI NMO NEUROMYELITIS OPTICA PANEL SERUM test.
Diagnosis and Interpretation
It is important to note that the ANTI NMO NEUROMYELITIS OPTICA PANEL SERUM test should be interpreted in conjunction with the patient’s clinical symptoms and other diagnostic tests to make an accurate diagnosis of NMO. Our test helps confirm the presence of specific antibodies associated with NMO, aiding in the differentiation of this condition from others with similar symptoms.
Consult a Neurologist
If you are experiencing symptoms related to neuromyelitis optica, we recommend consulting a neurologist. They are specialized in diagnosing and treating disorders of the nervous system.

Test Details |
The Anti NMO (Neuromyelitis Optica) Panel Serum test is a diagnostic test used to detect the presence of specific antibodies associated with neuromyelitis optica (NMO). NMO is an autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the optic nerves and spinal cord, leading to severe vision loss and paralysis. The test typically includes the detection of antibodies against aquaporin-4 (AQP4), a protein found in the central nervous system. The presence of these antibodies is highly indicative of NMO and can help differentiate it from other similar conditions. The test involves taking a blood sample from the patient, which is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. The laboratory technicians will use various techniques, such as enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) or immunofluorescence, to detect the presence of anti-AQP4 antibodies in the serum. The Anti NMO Panel Serum test is crucial in the diagnosis of NMO, as it helps to confirm the presence of specific antibodies associated with the disease. It can also aid in differentiating NMO from other conditions that may have similar symptoms. It is important to note that this test should be interpreted in conjunction with the patient’s clinical symptoms and other diagnostic tests to make an accurate diagnosis of NMO. |
