Motor Neuropathy Complete Antibody Panel
Use
This test supports the evaluation of suspected motor neuropathies by identifying autoantibodies associated with peripheral nervous system disorders; it helps clinicians distinguish immune-mediated motor neuropathies that are treatable from those with non-immune etiologies.
Special Instructions
Not provided.
Limitations
Interpretation may be limited when tissue immunofluorescence screening is negative and additional confirmatory testing is not reflexed; detection varies by specimen type and antibody target, and not all autoantibodies may be equally detectable in serum versus CSF. Negative results do not exclude non-autoimmune or other neuropathy etiologies.
