The Autoimmune Encephalitis Panel Serum Test is a sophisticated diagnostic tool used to identify specific antibodies that may be associated with autoimmune encephalitis, a condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy brain cells, leading to inflammation and a range of neurological symptoms. This panel is crucial for diagnosing autoimmune encephalitis, which can present with symptoms such as seizures, memory issues, cognitive decline, psychiatric symptoms, and movement disorders. Early and accurate detection through this panel is vital for the effective management and treatment of the condition.

The test involves analyzing a serum sample, typically obtained from the patient’s blood, to detect the presence of autoantibodies that target neuronal antigens. Identifying these antibodies can help differentiate autoimmune encephalitis from other neurological disorders, guiding healthcare professionals in tailoring the most appropriate treatment plans for their patients.

In the UAE, the Autoimmune Encephalitis Panel Serum Test is available at DNA Labs, a reputable facility known for its advanced diagnostic services. The cost of the test is 4270 AED, reflecting the comprehensive nature of the panel and the specialized technology and expertise required to perform it. Patients and healthcare providers looking to conduct this test can expect a reliable service that contributes significantly to the diagnosis and management of autoimmune encephalitis.

Test Details:

The Autoimmune Encephalitis Panel Serum test is a blood test that helps in the diagnosis of autoimmune encephalitis, a rare neurological disorder. This test detects specific antibodies in the blood that are associated with autoimmune encephalitis. These antibodies target proteins in the brain, leading to inflammation and damage.

The panel typically includes the following antibodies:

  1. NMDA receptor antibodies: N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antibodies are the most commonly detected antibodies in autoimmune encephalitis. They target the NMDA receptors in the brain, leading to psychiatric symptoms, seizures, and movement disorders.
  2. VGKC-complex antibodies: Voltage-gated potassium channel (VGKC) complex antibodies are another common type of antibodies found in autoimmune encephalitis. They target proteins involved in the regulation of nerve cell excitability and can cause a range of neurological symptoms.
  3. LGI1 antibodies: Leucine-rich glioma inactivated 1 (LGI1) antibodies are specific to a type of autoimmune encephalitis called limbic encephalitis. They are associated with memory loss, seizures, and psychiatric symptoms.
  4. CASPR2 antibodies: Contactin-associated protein 2 (CASPR2) antibodies are also associated with limbic encephalitis and can cause similar symptoms as LGI1 antibodies.
  5. GABA-B receptor antibodies: Gamma-aminobutyric acid B (GABA-B) receptor antibodies are less common but can be found in some cases of autoimmune encephalitis. They target the GABA-B receptors in the brain, leading to seizures and other neurological symptoms.

The Autoimmune Encephalitis Panel Serum test is typically ordered by a neurologist when autoimmune encephalitis is suspected based on the patient’s symptoms and clinical presentation. It helps in confirming the diagnosis and guiding appropriate treatment.
