Voltage-Gated Calcium Channel Antibody Test

North Dakota rates for HCPCS 86596

A blood test for antibodies the immune system has mistakenly made against a channel protein on nerve endings, the protein that lets a nerve release its signal to the muscle it controls. When these antibodies are present they block that signal, so muscles tire and weaken. The test is used mainly when Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome is suspected, a condition that is sometimes linked to an underlying cancer.
