Find Answers for Unexplained Neurological Symptoms
When your brain doesn’t feel like it’s working properly, it can be terrifying. Memory lapses, sudden mood changes, or unexplained seizures can leave you feeling lost and anxious. Our Anti-NMDA Receptor Antibody Test is specifically designed to detect autoimmune encephalitis – a condition where your immune system mistakenly attacks healthy brain cells. We understand the fear and uncertainty that comes with neurological symptoms, which is why we’ve created a testing process that prioritises your peace of mind and provides the answers you need to move forward with confidence.
Understanding Your Anti-NMDA Receptor Test
This specialised test looks for antibodies that target the NMDA receptors in your brain. These receptors are crucial for normal brain function, including memory, learning, and mood regulation. When your body produces antibodies against these receptors, it can lead to inflammation in the brain (encephalitis) and cause a wide range of neurological symptoms. Our advanced cell-based assay technology ensures the highest level of accuracy in detecting these specific antibodies, giving you reliable results you can trust for making important health decisions.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, this test could provide crucial answers:
- Unexplained memory problems or confusion
- Sudden personality changes or mood swings
- Seizures without a clear cause
- Speech difficulties or movement disorders
- Psychiatric symptoms that don’t respond to typical treatments
- Sleep disturbances or abnormal movements
- Recent viral infection followed by neurological symptoms
Many patients spend months or even years searching for answers to their neurological symptoms. Early detection of autoimmune encephalitis can lead to more effective treatment and better long-term outcomes.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Neurological Health
Getting the right diagnosis early can make a significant difference in your recovery and quality of life. When autoimmune encephalitis is detected promptly:
- Appropriate treatment can begin sooner, potentially preventing permanent brain damage
- You avoid unnecessary medications or treatments for incorrect diagnoses
- Family members gain understanding and can provide better support
- You receive clarity and peace of mind about what’s causing your symptoms
- Your healthcare team can develop a targeted treatment plan specific to your condition
Understanding Your Test Results
We know waiting for test results can be anxiety-provoking. Here’s what to expect:
Positive Result: This indicates the presence of anti-NMDA receptor antibodies. While this news might feel overwhelming, it actually provides a clear direction for treatment. Many patients with autoimmune encephalitis respond well to immunotherapy when treatment begins early.
Negative Result: This means no anti-NMDA receptor antibodies were detected. This result helps your doctor rule out autoimmune encephalitis and focus on other potential causes of your symptoms.
Regardless of your result, our team is here to support you. We provide clear, easy-to-understand reports and can help connect you with neurological specialists if needed.
