Testing Algorithm Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.

In all cases with adequate tissue, an initial Congo red stain is performed before mass spectrometry testing to confirm positivity and pattern of amyloid deposition can be considered when interpreting mass spectrometry results. A pathology consultation is typically not required. If the amyloid subtyping results do not fit the clinical findings, a PATHC / Pathology Consultation may be added if appropriate, upon client approval.
