Jon6945 Posted September 21, 2013 Report Share Posted September 21, 2013 Has anyone here tested positive for the GAD65 and/or the N-Type Calcium Channel? If so, what was your diagnosis and did you try any treatment for it? Thanks in advance for the feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alex Posted September 22, 2013 Report Share Posted September 22, 2013 If I remember correctly these antibodies have been discussed here before - perhaps searching the forum will bring up those older threads for you.Also, this presentation from Mayo may help to some extent:http://www.mayomedicallaboratories.com/articles/hottopics/2011/02-auto-dys-eval/index.htmlAlex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YolaInBlue Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 I came back for Mayo a week ago and yesterday looking at my lab results I found out that I am positive for GAD65 at 0.12 nmol/L, which is 6 times over the normal limit. I read their info, but still don't understand much. A note under my lab results says: This profile is consistent with organ-specific neurologic autoimmunity and predisposition to thyrogastric disorders, including thyroiditis, pernicious anemia, type 1 diabetes. I've sent a message to the doctor but still waiting for a reply.Does this result mean that I could benefit from IVIG? Did anybody that tested possitive followed on that with additional tests? I'm not sure what is the next step. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
