The maximum days the report can be obtained for the test Voltage Gated Potassium Channel (VGKC) Antibody Test, CSF is 7 days.

What are the prerequisites for the test Voltage Gated Potassium Channel (VGKC) Antibody Test, CSF

  • Patient must have symptoms suggestive of autoimmune encephalitis, such as seizures, cognitive changes, or movement disorders
  • CSF analysis must show evidence of inflammation, such as elevated white blood cell count or protein levels
  • Other possible causes of symptoms must be ruled out through clinical evaluation and imaging studies
  • Consultation with a neurologist or other specialist may be necessary to determine if the test is appropriate

What are the measure values for the test Voltage Gated Potassium Channel (VGKC) Antibody Test, CSF

  1. Normal: Less than 100 pM/mL
  2. Borderline: 100-200 pM/mL
  3. Abnormal: Greater than 200 pM/mL

What does this test Voltage Gated Potassium Channel (VGKC) Antibody Test, CSF identify?

Test: Voltage Gated Potassium Channel (VGKC) Antibody Test, CSF

The Voltage Gated Potassium Channel (VGKC) Antibody Test, CSF is a diagnostic test that identifies the presence of antibodies against voltage-gated potassium channels in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). These antibodies are associated with autoimmune neurological disorders, such as limbic encephalitis and Morvan syndrome.

By measuring the levels of VGKC antibodies in the CSF, healthcare providers can help diagnose and monitor these neurological conditions, guiding treatment decisions and assessing disease progression.

Why is this test Voltage Gated Potassium Channel (VGKC) Antibody Test, CSF taken?

Test: Voltage Gated Potassium Channel (VGKC) Antibody Test, CSF

The Voltage Gated Potassium Channel (VGKC) Antibody Test, CSF is taken to detect the presence of antibodies targeting VGKC in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of a patient. VGKC antibodies are associated with a variety of neurological disorders, including autoimmune encephalitis, limbic encephalitis, and neuromyotonia.

By testing for VGKC antibodies in the CSF, healthcare providers can help diagnose and monitor these neurological conditions, determine appropriate treatment options, and assess disease progression.
