DNA Labs India: Understanding Anti NMO (Neuromyelitis Optica) Panel CSF Test
Neuromyelitis Optica (NMO) is a rare autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system. It primarily affects the optic nerves and spinal cord, causing inflammation and damage to these areas. The condition is often misdiagnosed as multiple sclerosis (MS) due to similar symptoms, but it requires different treatment.
Anti NMO Panel CSF Test is a diagnostic test that helps in the diagnosis of NMO. It detects the presence of antibodies against a protein called Aquaporin-4 (AQP4) that is found in the central nervous system.
Symptoms of NMO
The symptoms of NMO can vary from person to person. Some people may experience mild symptoms, while others may have severe symptoms. Some common symptoms of NMO include:
- Vision loss or blurred vision
- Weakness or paralysis in the arms or legs
- Loss of sensation or tingling in the arms or legs
- Loss of bladder or bowel control
- Nausea and vomiting
- Headaches
Diagnosis of NMO
NMO can be difficult to diagnose because its symptoms are similar to other conditions such as MS. The diagnosis of NMO usually involves a combination of medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests.
The Anti NMO Panel CSF Test is a diagnostic test that helps in the diagnosis of NMO. It detects the presence of antibodies against AQP4 in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of a patient. The test is performed by taking a sample of CSF from the patient’s spine using a needle, and then analyzing it in a laboratory.
Cost of Anti NMO Panel CSF Test
The cost of Anti NMO Panel CSF Test in India varies from one laboratory to another. At DNA Labs India, the cost of the test is INR 9000. However, the cost may vary depending on the location and other factors.
