LOINC description : This panel contains results for the evaluation of patients with suspected autoimmune
myelopathy, myelitis, or paraneoplastic myelopathy using cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
specimens. Autoimmune myelopathy evaluation of both serum [LOINC: 94339-9] and CSF
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.;
