Amy Gaylord-Preston Interesting that this list includes a vasculitis evaluation on its Neurological Exam. And look what else is on here. Id like to see the directive given to GPs for a Neurological Exam or Neurological work-up in Canada. This was written by a center in Chicago. Blood tests Blood tests are commonly employed to check for vitamin deficiencies, toxic elements and evidence of an abnormal immune response. Depending on your individual situation, your doctor may request certain laboratory tests to identify potentially treatable causes for neuropathy. These include tests for: Vitamin B12 and folate levels Thyroid, liver and kidney functions Vasculitis evaluation Oral glucose tolerance test Antibodies to nerve components (e.g., anti-MAG antibody) Antibodies related to celiac disease Lyme disease HIV/AIDS Hepatitis C and B
