Dear Mailbase, I am planning an audit of the NICE coeliac screening guidelines (NG20) and as part of this am trying to assess what current practice is regarding antibody testing. I understand that some laboratories perform a "pre-screen" on site and then send the sample away for confirmation by another lab. If your lab has a similar process, I would really appreciate information on 1) What test(s) are involved in the pre-screening test (on site/within your trust) 2) What test(s) are involved in the confirmation (referred to another laboratory) 3) What criteria are used to decide which samples are referred for confirmation Any other information on the subject would also be very welcome. Many thanks and best wishes, Sally Dr Sally Hanton Principal Clinical Scientist The Neuroscience Laboratories The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust Lower Lane Liverpool L9 7LJ Tel: 0151 529 5577 Please note: I am not in the department on Tuesdays or Fridays [cid:image003.png@01D22BAC.12E989B0][cid:image004.png@01D22BAC.12E989B0][cid:image006.jpg@01D22BAC.12E989B0] [cid:image007.jpg@01D22BAC.12E989B0]<http://www.cqc.org.uk/provider/RET> [cid:image009.png@01D22BAC.12E989B0] @waltoncentre [cid:image010.jpg@01D22BAC.12E989B0] The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential and / or proprietary Trust information, some or all of which may be legally privileged, and may be subject to public disclosure under the NHS Code of Openness or the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
