What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing numbness, tingling, weakness, or balance problems in your hands and feet that won't go away. These symptoms can be signs of nerve damage caused by your immune system mistakenly attacking the protective coating around your nerves. This test looks for specific antibodies that are linked to this type of autoimmune nerve damage.

What's included in this test?

This test measures one specific type of antibody in your blood. It matters because finding this antibody can help explain unexplained nerve symptoms that are otherwise hard to pin down, giving you a clearer picture of what might be causing your discomfort.

What happens after I get my results?

Your results will show up in your account with a clear explanation of what's considered a normal range for this antibody. If your levels are elevated, the report will explain what that may mean and suggest next steps, including whether retesting or further evaluation makes sense. You can download a standard lab report anytime from your account, and if you test again in the future, you can track changes over time using the trends feature.

How can I naturally support nerve health?

While antibody levels themselves aren't changed by lifestyle alone, supporting your nerves can help manage symptoms. Eating foods rich in B vitamins, staying physically active with gentle movement like walking or stretching, and managing stress through sleep and relaxation techniques can all support nerve function. Avoiding alcohol and smoking is also known to help protect nerve health over time.

When will I get my results?

Results for this test are typically ready within about 7 days after your sample is collected. You'll receive a notification once your report is available, and you can log into your account to view the full details at that time.

Who should consider this test?

This test is a good fit for people who have ongoing numbness, tingling, or muscle weakness in their limbs that hasn't been explained by other causes. It's also useful for anyone who has already been told they might have a nerve-related condition and wants more information about a possible autoimmune cause.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Common symptoms include tingling or numbness in the hands and feet, muscle weakness, difficulty with balance or coordination, and a burning or prickling sensation in the limbs. If these symptoms are getting worse over time or are affecting your daily activities, this test can help identify a possible autoimmune cause.

What does a high antibody result mean?

A high result means your body has detectable levels of this antibody, which is associated with a type of autoimmune nerve damage called peripheral neuropathy. This doesn't automatically mean you have the condition, but it's a strong signal worth acting on. If your result is high, consider seeking medical care promptly, especially if your symptoms are severe or getting worse quickly.

How often should I retest?

If your first result comes back elevated or your symptoms are changing, retesting every few months can help you track whether antibody levels are rising, falling, or staying steady. If your result is normal but symptoms persist, it may be worth retesting later if things change. Using the trends feature in your account makes it easy to compare results side by side.

What should I do if my results are abnormal?

If your results come back abnormal, start by reviewing the detailed explanation in your report to understand what the number means for you. Keep track of your symptoms, including when they happen and how severe they are, since this information is useful going forward. If symptoms are severe, rapidly worsening, or affecting your ability to function, seek medical care right away.
