What does this test Anti NMDA Receptor / Anti Glutamate Antibody Test, CSF identify?

Anti NMDA Receptor / Anti Glutamate Antibody Test, CSF

This test is used to identify the presence of antibodies against N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors and glutamate in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). These antibodies are associated with autoimmune encephalitis, a rare but serious condition that causes inflammation of the brain.

Autoimmune encephalitis can cause a variety of symptoms including memory loss, seizures, hallucinations, and changes in behavior and personality. Identifying these antibodies through the CSF test can help in diagnosing autoimmune encephalitis and guiding treatment decisions.

  • The Anti NMDA Receptor / Anti Glutamate Antibody Test, CSF is taken to detect the presence of antibodies against N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors and glutamate in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).
  • These antibodies are associated with autoimmune encephalitis, a condition in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy brain tissue, leading to inflammation and neurological symptoms.
  • Symptoms of autoimmune encephalitis can include confusion, memory problems, seizures, hallucinations, and movement disorders.
