Autoimmune Gastrointestinal Dysmotility (AGID) Evaluation

AGIDE/89886 Algorithm

April 2012

The final setting in which additional testing may be done would be where the acetylcholine receptor binding antibody or striational antibody were detected. For this, the possibility of an antibody profile supportive of thymoma would come to mind. This could be further explored by doing testing for the acetylcholine receptor modulating antibody and CRMP-5 IgG by Western blot.
