IgG/IgG4 Limited Consult
Use
This test is part of a limited IHC consult that bundles necessary IHCs for a specific disease into a panel. A NeoGenomics pathologist orders only the necessary IHC testing and evaluates the submitted material according to specific pathology questions. It is not intended for subspecialty second opinions or primary diagnostic reports, but rather as a diagnostic aid within a defined pathology scope.
Special Instructions
These consults are not suitable for full second opinions. Use a cold pack for specimen transport, ensuring it is not in direct contact with the specimen.
Limitations
This test is specifically designed for predefined pathology questions and may not address broader diagnostic needs. It is not comprehensive for all possible diagnostic situations.
