- Neurofilament (2f11)
A nerve biopsy with neurofilament testing involves extracting a small piece of nerve tissue, usually from the sural nerve, to analyze the structure and presence of neurofilaments. It helps diagnose neuropathies and neurodegenerative conditions.
It is recommended when patients exhibit unexplained peripheral neuropathy, progressive muscle weakness, or suspected demyelinating or axonal neuropathies.
A small incision is made to extract the nerve tissue, which is then analyzed using immunohistochemistry or other staining techniques to detect neurofilaments.
- Abnormal results: Suggest axonal degeneration, demyelination, or nerve inflammation.
- Normal results: Indicate the absence of significant nerve damage.
