Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Profile, Serum and Spinal Fluid
Useful For 
Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosing multiple sclerosis, especially helpful in patients with equivocal clinical or radiological findings
Profile Information A profile is a group of laboratory tests that are ordered and performed together under a single Mayo Test ID. Profile information lists the test performed, inclusive of the test fee, when a profile is ordered and includes reporting names and individual availability.
| Test ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
|---|---|---|---|
| KCSFP | Kappa Free Light Chain, CSF | Yes, (KCSF) | Yes |
| XSRM | Additional sample for reflex OLIGS | No | Yes |
Reflex Tests Lists tests that may or may not be performed, at an additional charge, depending on the result and interpretation of the initial tests.
| Test ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
|---|---|---|---|
| OLIGS | Serum Bands | Yes, (Order OLIG, submit CSF and Serum) | No |
| OLIGC | CSF Bands | Yes, (Order OLIG, submit CSF and Serum) | No |
Testing Algorithm Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
Kappa free light chain will be performed by nephelometry on all samples. When kappa free light chain results are 0.0600 mg/dL or more, the oligoclonal banding tests will be performed at an additional charge. If the time of testing exceeds the specimen stability for oligoclonal banding tests only kappa free light chain will be performed. Kappa free light chain will only be performed up to specimen stability.
