Primary Periodic Paralysis diagnosis
Genetic testing is recommended as the first diagnostic step where there is a high clinical likelihood of a Primary Periodic Paralysis diagnosis.2
Only 60% to 70% of patients with Primary Periodic Paralysis receive a positive genetic test.2
For the remaining 30% to 40% of patients with Primary Periodic Paralysis, diagnosis can be based upon clinical presentation, potassium levels in your blood during attacks, and pattern abnormalities on long exercise testing.2
If a genetic test comes back negative, one or more of the following tests could be utilized to help reach a diagnosis or rule out Primary Periodic Paralysis:
- Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG)
- Electromyography (EMG)
- Compound muscle action potential (CMAP)
