Acetycholine Receptor Antibody
Anti AChR
About This Test
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is characterised by muscle weakness & easy fatigability most commonly due to autoantibody mediated loss of functional acetylcholine receptors in the postsynaptic membrane of skeletal muscle. ACHR antibodies are not found in Congenital MG. This assay is used to diagnose Acquired forms of MG (90% positive), for detecting subclinical MG in recipients of D-penicillamine, Thymoma without clinical evidence of MG & Graft versus Host disease. It may also be positive in Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome, Autoimmune liver disease & Paraneoplastic autoimmune neurological disorders.

Frequently Asked Questions
Outsourced test are being done from Dr. Lal Path Lab. Charges and reporting time is same as of Dr. Lal Path Labs.
Avoid general anaesthetic or muscle relaxant drugs 24 hours prior to sampling. This assay should not be requested for patients who have recently received radio-isotopes therapeutically or diagnostically due to potential assay interference.
Acetylcholine Receptor (AChR) Binding Antibody test is important because it helps in the diagnosis and confirmation of Myasthenia Gravis (MG), an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder.
TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
