Neuronal (Paraneoplastic) Autoantibodies Profile Test: Symptoms, Diagnosis and Cost

Neuronal (paraneoplastic) autoantibodies are a type of antibody that mistakenly attacks the body's own cells, particularly neurons. These antibodies are often associated with cancer and can cause a range of neurological symptoms. A neuronal (paraneoplastic) autoantibodies profile test can help diagnose this condition. In this blog, we will discuss the symptoms, diagnosis, and cost of this test offered by DNA Labs India.

Symptoms of Neuronal (Paraneoplastic) Autoantibodies

Neuronal (paraneoplastic) autoantibodies can cause a variety of symptoms, depending on which part of the nervous system is affected. Some common symptoms include:

• Difficulty walking or maintaining balance
• Weakness in the arms or legs
• Tremors or involuntary movements
• Vision problems
• Memory loss or confusion
• Seizures
• Sensory changes, such as tingling or numbness

These symptoms can be progressive and may worsen over time if left untreated.

Diagnosis of Neuronal (Paraneoplastic) Autoantibodies

Diagnosing neuronal (paraneoplastic) autoantibodies can be challenging because the symptoms can be similar to other neurological disorders. A thorough medical history and physical examination are essential to rule out other conditions. Blood tests can help detect the presence of neuronal (paraneoplastic) autoantibodies. Additional tests such as MRI or CT scans may be necessary to evaluate the extent of damage to the nervous system.

The neuronal (paraneoplastic) autoantibodies profile test offered by DNA Labs India is a comprehensive panel of tests that can detect a range of autoantibodies associated with this condition. This test is particularly useful in cases where a definitive diagnosis is difficult to make based on symptoms alone.

Cost of Neuronal (Paraneoplastic) Autoantibodies Profile Test

The cost of the neuronal (paraneoplastic) autoantibodies profile test at DNA Labs India is INR 12,000. This test is performed on a blood sample, and results are typically available within a few days. The cost of this test may vary depending on the location of the testing facility and any additional tests that may be necessary.

Conclusion

Neuronal (paraneoplastic) autoantibodies can cause a range of neurological symptoms and can be challenging to diagnose. The neuronal (paraneoplastic) autoantibodies profile test offered by DNA Labs India can help detect the presence of these autoantibodies and aid in the diagnosis of this condition. If you are experiencing any symptoms associated with neuronal (paraneoplastic) autoantibodies, talk to your healthcare provider about whether this test is right for you.
