Test Code DMS2 Dementia, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Serum

Additional Codes

Hospital Order Code
Lab2608   MISMGO


Ordering Guidance


Multiple neurological phenotype-specific autoimmune/paraneoplastic evaluations are available. For more information as well as phenotype-specific testing options, refer to Autoimmune Neurology Test Ordering Guide.

 

When more than one evaluation is ordered on the same order number, the duplicate test will be canceled.

 

For a list of antibodies performed with each evaluation, see Autoimmune Neurology Antibody Matrix.

 

This test should not be requested for 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.



Necessary Information


Provide the following information:

-Relevant clinical information

-Ordering healthcare professional's name, phone number, mailing address, and e-mail address



Specimen Required


Patient Preparation:

1. For optimal antibody detection, specimen collection is recommended before starting immunosuppressant medication or intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment.

2. For 24 hours before specimen collection, patient should not receive general anesthetic or take muscle-relaxant drugs.
