TS-HDS Antibody and Small Fiber Neuropathy
Neuropathy | Last Active: Nov 13, 2023 | Replies (156)Comment receiving replies
Can somebody help me please. In the process of educating my Dr. I requested the TS-HDS antibody test to see if I have SFN . I have the biopsy scheduled for April so I thought it would make sense. My Dr. gave it back to me a bit that it really isn't a proven test for SFN. Any insight into this,,,Thanks

@laureen8844, One of the best sources I've found for neuropathy information is the Neuropathy Commons website. Here are a couple of pages you might find helpful and one other that I thought had good information.
- Diagnosing Peripheral Neuropathy: https://neuropathycommons.org/neuropathy/tests-diagnosing-small-fiber-polyneuropathy
- Blood Tests To Identify Medical Causes of Neuropathy: https://neuropathycommons.org/get-tested/blood-tests
- Small Fiber Neuropathy Diagnosis and Treatment: https://www.news-medical.net/health/Small-Fiber-Neuropathy-Diagnosis-and-Treatment.aspx
This short video by Matthew B Jensen Assistant Professor of Neurology, University of Wisconsin that gives a good explanation of how the different neuropathies are diagnosed.
