How is myasthenia gravis diagnosed?

Maybe tough, but : We order the following tests: anti-neuromuscular junctional antibody (and maybe anti-musk antibody), an EMG study using repetitive nerve stimulations to look for possible classical decriment patterns, cat scan of chest to see if there is large thymus, and perhaps a clinical tensilon test. That should for the most part confirm the diagnosis.

Myasthenia: An intravenous injection called a tensilon test, blood testing for acetylcholine receptor antibodies, and an electrophysiological test called an electromyelogram can all be used to help make a diagnosis of myasthenia.
