Paraneoplastic, Autoantibody Profile
Also known as: Autoimmune Paraneoplastic Panel, Paraneoplastic, Paraneoplastic Syndrome Test
Use
This test is used for the detection of antineuronal autoantibodies that help in the diagnosis of paraneoplastic syndromes.
Special Instructions
If a reflex test is performed, additional charges or CPT codes may apply. The Autoimmune Neurology/Comprehensive Paraneoplastic Profile [505500] may be considered for broader assessment where multiple antibodies are suspected or when symptoms overlap with several autoimmune neuropathies.
Limitations
Negative results do not exclude all clinically relevant antibodies. If indicated, consider a phenotype-specific profile such as for encephalopathy, dementia, myelopathy, or axonal neuropathy. The test was developed according to CLIA requirements and not cleared or approved by the FDA.
