Determination of anti-ganglioside autoantibodies in chronic autoimmune neuropathies: the thin line between care dependency and independence
(firmenpresse) - The knowledge of autoimmune neuropathies has increased significantly over the past years. Regardless, clinical routine diagnosis of autoimmune neuropathies did not keep pace with research and has not changed substantially. As a result, chronic autoimmune neuropathies are regularly misdiagnosed and mistreated, leaving the patient disabled.
This is where the lab can render assistance by determination of anti-ganglioside antibody profiles, which are the only way of distinguishing acute from chronic autoimmune neuropathies.
Other than acute autoimmune neuropathies, chronic ones are only manageable by continuous intermittent treatment. Missing out on this results in a severely disabled patient.
With adequate treatment however normal function can be restored, enabling the patient to work and exert recreational activities.
