Sendaway Testing for Neuronal Antibodies

Sendaway Testing for Neuronal Antibodies

13/03/2025

PathWest wishes to advise that the process for send away testing for neuronal antibodies require discussion with, and approval by, an immunopathologist.

  • If the testing is thought to be clinically appropriate, and where relevant first tier testing is negative, testing will be organised and the costs covered by PathWest laboratory.
  • For testing that is deemed to be required, but is discordant with the current accepted clinical syndrome, the cost will need to be covered by the requesting department.
  • For all requests that are received, without prior discussion and approval, the sample will not be tested and will be stored.
  • Requests from other private pathology services will not be sent away and any samples received will be returned.

If you have any questions or need additional information/assistance, please contact the PathWest Immunology Laboratory and an immunopathologist will be able to assist.
