Ganglioside IgG Antibody,Serum

Description

The Ganglioside IgG Antibody, Serum test is designed to detect IgG antibodies targeting gangliosides, which are components of nerve cell membranes. This test is primarily used in diagnosing autoimmune neuropathies, where the immune system mistakenly attacks the peripheral nerves. It’s particularly useful in identifying conditions such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, Miller Fisher syndrome, and other related disorders. The presence of these antibodies can help confirm the diagnosis of immune-mediated neuropathies and guide treatment decisions. This test is crucial in differentiating autoimmune neuropathies from other causes of nerve damage, leading to more targeted and effective treatment strategies.
