NMDA Receptor Antibody (NR1), Serum near me in Varanasi

This test measures the levels of NMDA receptor antibodies in your blood which target the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptors in your brain. Elevated levels of these antibodies indicate an autoimmune response that can lead to autoimmune encephalitis (AE) or Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis, a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the brain, leading to inflammation and various neurological symptoms. This test is done to diagnose AE; monitor treatment effectiveness, and detect other conditions affecting the brain. NMDA Receptor Antibody (NR1), Serum test may be recommended if you have symptoms of AE, such as seizures, memory problems, psychosis, or movement disorders; have a history of autoimmune disorders or a family history of Autoimmune Encephalitis; and if there is a suspicion of other conditions affecting the brain that may involve NMDA receptor antibodies.
