Ri Antibody, Serum near me in Aligarh

The Ri Antibody, Serum test measures the levels of anti-Ri antibodies in your blood. Anti-Ri antibodies target a neuronal antigen and are associated with the paraneoplastic neurological syndrome (PNS), a condition characterized by dysfunction in the limbic, diencephalic, or brainstem regions of the nervous system. This test is performed to diagnose PNS and monitor its progression; evaluate the effectiveness of PNS treatment, and diagnose or monitor other conditions that affect the limbic, diencephalic, or brainstem regions. The test may be recommended if you have symptoms suggestive of PNS, such as limbic dysfunction, diencephalic dysfunction, or brainstem dysfunction; a previous diagnosis of PNS; or a risk of developing PNS due to certain factors or family history.
