Specimen Information

Patient Preparation

For optimal antibody detection it's recommended that specimen be drawn prior to starting immunosuppressant medication or intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) treatment.
Due to potential interference, this test is not recommended for patients who have recently had radioactive isotopes administered diagnostically or therapeutically. The waiting period before drawing will depend on the isotope used, dose given, and the clearance rate in the individual patient. Specimens will be screened for radioactivity prior to testing. Radioactive specimens will be held for 1 week and assayed if properly decayed or cancelled if radioactivity remains.
