P 4: The Hypothesis Detect Multiple Sclerosis in Early Stage with Saliva Testing
Introduction: Recent studies point to the clinical and research efficacy of saliva as a respected diagnostic aid for observing Multiple Sclerosis. The objectives of this Hypothesis are to identify novel biomarkers recognized to Multiple Sclerosis in early stage in saliva and to determine if the levels of these markers correlate with level of these Cerebrospinal fluid and blood assays and urine ...
متن کاملRelative value of three laboratory methods in the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis.
We compared three methods of analysis for IgG in cerebrospinal fluid, using samples from 158 patients with clinically suspected multiple sclerosis and from 200 neurological controls. The tests were: search for oligoclonal bands, calculation of rate of synthesis of IgG in the cerebrospinal fluid, and determination of the IgG/albumin ratio. Paired cerebrospinal fluid and serum samples were collec...
متن کاملExternal quality assessment in clinical neurochemistry: survey of analysis for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) proteins based on CSF/serum quotients.
Participants (230) from Germany and 20 laboratories in 11 European countries took part in a newly designed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) survey distributed by INSTAND. Conventional proficiency testing for albumin, IgG, IgA, and IgM in CSF and serum, for total protein in CSF, and for oligoclonal IgG in CSF and serum was combined with evaluation and interpretation of CSF/serum quotients in quotient d...
متن کاملDetection of oligoclonal free kappa chains in the absence of oligoclonal IgG in the CSF of patients with suspected multiple sclerosis.
BACKGROUND Oligoclonal free kappa bands are present as frequently as oligoclonal IgG bands in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from patients with definite multiple sclerosis (MS) and can even occur in the absence of oligoclonal IgG. As such, they too are markers of an ongoing intrathecal immune process. OBJECTIVES To determine how frequently oligoclonal free kappa bands are detectable in the CSF...
