- Anti Lgi1 Antibody
- Anti-caspr2 Antibody
- Specimen Source
- Initial Dilution
The Anti-Voltage-Gated Potassium Channel (VGKC) Antibodies test detects antibodies against VGKC in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serum, which are linked to autoimmune neurological disorders.
This test is recommended for:
- Individuals with suspected autoimmune encephalitis.
- Patients experiencing seizures, memory loss, or behavioral changes.
- Those with neuromuscular disorders or peripheral nerve hyperexcitability.
A CSF or blood sample is analyzed using immunofluorescence or radioimmunoassay to detect VGKC antibodies.
- Positive for VGKC Antibodies: Suggests autoimmune encephalitis or neuromuscular disorders.
- Negative for VGKC Antibodies: Rules out VGKC-related autoimmune conditions.
Early diagnosis helps initiate immunotherapy and prevent long-term neurological damage.
