LOINC description : This panel contains results for the evaluation of patients with suspected autoimmune
myelopathy, myelitis, or paraneoplastic myelopathy using serum specimens. Autoimmune
myelopathy evaluation of both serum and CSF [LOINC: 94353-0] can assist in the diagnosis
(e.g. paraneoplastic or idiopathic autoimmune) and distinguishing from other causes
of myelopathy, such as multiple sclerosis, sarcoidosis, or vascular disease. Results
are used in conjunction with clinical history, examinations, and/or MRIs of the spinal
cord to determine an autoimmune diagnosis. Additionally, early testing may assist
in earlier diagnosis of occult cancer and initiation of immune therapies.;
