Encephalopathy, Autoimmune/Paraneoplastic Evaluation, Spinal Fluid

Additional Codes

LAB3970

Ordering Guidance

Multiple neurological phenotype-specific autoimmune/paraneoplastic evaluations are available. For more information as well as phenotype-specific testing options, see Autoimmune Neurology Test Ordering Guide.

When more than one evaluation is ordered on the same order number, the duplicate test will be canceled.

For a list of antibodies performed with each evaluation, see Autoimmune Neurology Antibody Matrix.

This test is intended to be ordered for adult patients. If this test is ordered for a patient younger than 18 years, it will be canceled and automatically reordered by the laboratory as PCDEC / Pediatric Autoimmune Encephalopathy/CNS Disorder Evaluation, Spinal Fluid. The pediatric autoimmune CNS disorders evaluation is part of an evolving approach to testing for autoimmune neurological disorders using phenotypic-specific evaluations that include multiple antibodies known for their disease association.
