Motor and Sensory Neuropathy Evaluation with Immunofixation Electrophoresis and Reflex to Titer and Neuronal Immunoblot
Ordering Recommendation
Aids in diagnosis of combined motor/sensory neuropathy when plasma cell dyscrasia or other malignancy is suspected.

Laboratory Developed Test (LDT)
Note
Purkinje cell (PCCA) antibody and neuronal nuclear (ANNA) antibody IgG are screened by IFA. If the IFA screen is indeterminate, then a Neuronal Nuclear Antibodies (Hu, Ri, Yo, and Tr/DNER) IgG by Immunoblot will be added. If the IFA screen is positive at 1:10 or greater, then a PCCA/ANNA antibodies titer and Neuronal Nuclear Antibodies (Hu, Ri, Yo, and Tr/DNER) IgG by Immunoblot will be added. Additional charges apply.
