Testing Algorithm
To assess the probability of your patient having chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) vs mimic disorders, see the Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP) calculator.
If the indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA) patterns suggest amphiphysin antibody, then the amphiphysin antibody IFA titer and amphiphysin antibody immunoblot will be performed at an additional charge.
If the IFA patterns suggest antiglial nuclear antibody-1 (AGNA-1), then the AGNA-1 antibody IFA titer and AGNA-1 antibody immunoblot will be performed at an additional charge.
If the IFA patterns suggest antineuronal nuclear antibody type 1 (ANNA-1), then the ANNA-1 IFA titer, ANNA-1 immunoblot, and ANNA-2 immunoblot will be performed at an additional charge.
If the client requests or the IFA pattern suggests ANNA-3 antibody, then the ANNA-3 IFA titer will be performed at an additional charge.
If the IFA patterns suggest collapsin response-mediator protein-5 (CRMP-5)-IgG, then the CRMP-5 antibody IFA titer and CRMP-5 antibody Western blot will be performed at an additional charge.
Screening tests are performed for IgG and IgM antibodies to GM1 and GD1b. If positive, the appropriate titer assay will be performed at an additional charge.
If the IFA pattern suggests PCA-2 antibody, then the PCA-2 antibody IFA titer and MAP1B immunoblot will be performed at an additional charge.
