Summary
This is a Proprietary Laboratory Analyses (PLA) code, meaning that the code applies to only one unique lab test made by a specific manufacturer or performed by a specific lab. Report 0035U only for real–time quaking–induced conversion for prion detection (RT–QuIC) from the National Prion Disease Pathology Surveillance Center. This test uses a specialized technique to detect abnormal prion proteins in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which surrounds the brain and spinal cord. The method is called real–time quaking–induced conversion (RT–QuIC), and it produces a qualitative result (positive or negative) to aid in the diagnosis of prion disease.
