Neuroimmunological and neurogenetic analysis
The NeiroMed clinic offers a wide range of specialized blood tests to diagnose diseases in the nervous system, working with leading labs in Germany, Britain and Estonia.
These analyses are particularly relevant in situations where an early diagnosis is required or an autoimmune, oncological or genetically defined disease is suspected. Objective: accurate diagnosis, timely treatment and personalised approach to the patient.
Duration of exam
5-10 minutes (blood or saliva sampling)
Preparation
No special preparation is required. If a saliva sample is taken, you should not eat, drink, smoke for 60 minutes before analysis.
Feelings
Minimal, the procedure is painless and non-invasive
Procedure
The analysis is carried out on a sample of blood taken from the vein or saliva taken from the mouth. If necessary, the sample is delivered to a foreign laboratory specializing in the particular test.
Results
Depending on the type of examination, 7 to 30 days.
Neuroimmunological tests
These tests help detect specific antibodies associated with autoimmune or paraneoplastic (tumour-induced) nervous system diseases:
- Autoimmune encephalitis and meningitis
- Myasthenia
- Demyelinating diseases (e.g. multiple sclerosis)
- Autoimmune polyneuropathy
- Autonomous nervous system disorders
- Onconeural and surface receptor antibodies to suspected tumour
- Non-specific neurological manifestations of unclear origin
This type of diagnosis is particularly important in cases where symptoms are pronounced but there is no structural change in standard exams.
Neurogenetic tests
Genetic tests allow the identification of innate changes in genes that can be associated with different diseases of the nervous system. They are particularly useful in the following cases:
- Chronic headache or family history of migraine
- Epilepsy, especially in children or with resistance to therapy
- Polyneuropathy
- Muscle and movement disorders (e.g. myopathy, dystrophy)
- Memory and behavioural disorders
- Atypical progress coordination or balance problems
- Stroke at an early age
- Unexplained neurological symptoms
Tests for congenital metabolic diseases (e.g. Fabry or Pompe disease)
Our genetic testing is conducted in collaboration with leading partners including Blueprint Genetics. Extensive test packs containing more than 3900 genes to be analysed are available, covering:
- Neurological diseases
- Autoimmune diseases
- Cardiological, dermatological, gynaecological and gastroenterological disorders
The tests use the latest generation of sequencing technologies that provide the highest possible diagnostic accuracy.
Genetic diagnosis is also particularly useful for predicting and adapting therapies. It helps exclude other unnecessary examinations and supports decision-making in planning individual treatments
Why perform tests at the NeiroMed clinic?
- Modern evidence-based methods
- Fast access to unique laboratories in Europe
- Accurate diagnosis in complex clinical cases
- Human attitude and personal approach
Consultation before and after test – without rush, with respect the needs of the patient
If you or your relative experience complex or vague neurological symptoms, especially if a congenital, autoimmune or oncological process is suspected, we invite you to contact our specialists and get meaningful advice.
