Autoimmune Encephalitis Panel Serum & CSF Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the Autoimmune Encephalitis Panel Serum & CSF test to diagnose autoimmune encephalitis, a condition where the immune system attacks the brain. This test measures the levels of antibodies in both the blood serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to identify specific antibodies associated with autoimmune encephalitis.

Test Details
The Autoimmune Encephalitis Panel Serum & CSF test is a diagnostic test used to detect autoimmune encephalitis. This condition occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the brain. The test measures the levels of antibodies in both the blood serum and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to identify specific antibodies associated with autoimmune encephalitis.
The panel typically includes tests for antibodies against various antigens, including N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR), voltage-gated potassium channel (VGKC), and others. By performing the test on both serum and CSF samples, it helps differentiate between autoimmune encephalitis and other neurological conditions.
Typically, a neurologist or other healthcare provider orders this test when a patient presents with symptoms of autoimmune encephalitis, such as seizures, confusion, memory loss, and personality changes. It may also be ordered when other tests, such as brain imaging or EEG, are inconclusive.
If the test results are positive for autoimmune encephalitis, treatment may include immunosuppressive therapy and/or plasmapheresis to remove the antibodies from the bloodstream. Early diagnosis and treatment can improve outcomes and prevent long-term neurological damage.
