Autoimmune Myelopathy Profile
Use
This test can assist in the diagnosis (paraneoplastic or idiopathic autoimmune) and aid distinction from other causes of myelopathy (sarcoidosis, vascular disease, multiple sclerosis). Early testing may assist in early diagnosis of occult cancer, prompt initiation of immune therapies, or both.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Labcorp in accordance with CLIA requirements and has not been cleared or approved by the FDA. Results should be integrated with clinical and other laboratory data when formulating a disease diagnosis. Negative results do not exclude autoimmune myelopathy, and other confirmatory tests may be required.
