Oligoclonal Bands Test

Ohio rates for HCPCS 83916

This laboratory test compares proteins from the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord with proteins from the blood, looking for unusual antibody patterns called oligoclonal bands. Finding these bands only in the spinal fluid, and not matched in the blood, suggests that the immune system is active within the brain and spinal cord. It is most often used to help support a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis or other conditions involving inflammation of the nervous system.
