Understanding Your Neurological Health: The Anti-MOG Test
When you’re experiencing unexplained neurological symptoms, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. We understand the anxiety that comes with vision problems, muscle weakness, or sensory changes that don’t have an obvious cause. The Anti-MOG Serum Test provides the clarity you need to move forward with confidence in your healthcare journey.
What Does the Anti-MOG Test Detect?
This specialised test looks for antibodies against Myelin Oligodendrocyte Glycoprotein (MOG) in your blood. MOG is a protein found in the protective covering of nerve cells in your brain and spinal cord. When your immune system mistakenly attacks this protein, it can lead to inflammation and damage to your nervous system.
Our advanced cell-based assay technology provides highly accurate results, giving you and your healthcare provider reliable information to guide your treatment decisions.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, the Anti-MOG Test could provide important answers:
- Sudden vision loss or blurriness in one or both eyes
- Eye pain with movement
- Weakness or numbness in your arms or legs
- Difficulty with balance or coordination
- Bowel or bladder control problems
- Unusual fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Previous diagnosis of optic neuritis or transverse myelitis
Many South African patients have found relief and direction through this testing, especially when other tests haven’t provided clear answers.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting the right diagnosis early can make a significant difference in managing neurological conditions. The Anti-MOG Test helps:
- Identify autoimmune causes of neurological symptoms
- Guide appropriate treatment decisions with your neurologist
- Monitor disease activity and treatment effectiveness
- Provide peace of mind through accurate diagnosis
- Prevent unnecessary delays in getting the right care
Early intervention can help preserve neurological function and improve long-term outcomes.
Understanding Your Test Results
We know waiting for results can be stressful. That’s why we offer same-day reporting when samples are submitted by 9 am on Tuesdays or Fridays. Your results will be clearly explained, and we recommend discussing them with your neurologist to understand what they mean for your specific situation.
Positive results indicate the presence of Anti-MOG antibodies, which helps confirm certain autoimmune neurological conditions. Negative results help rule out these specific conditions, allowing your doctor to explore other potential causes for your symptoms.
