Accurate Testing for Neurology, Parkinson’s Disease & Movement Disorders
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective neurological care. At Dr. HK’s Neuro and Parkinson’s Clinic, our laboratory and diagnostic services are designed to provide clear, reliable insights into brain and nerve health. By combining advanced technology with expert clinical interpretation, we ensure timely diagnosis, precise treatment planning, and ongoing monitoring for Parkinson’s disease, movement disorders, epilepsy, neuropathy, dementia, and other neurological conditions.
Our diagnostic services not only support treatment decisions but also play a crucial role in identifying underlying medical issues, medication effects, and disease progression.
Comprehensive Neurology-Focused Laboratory Tests
1. Blood Investigations for Neurological Health
Routine and specialized blood tests help identify conditions that may worsen neurological symptoms or mimic neurological disorders.
These include:
Blood sugar levels – screening for diabetes-related neurological complications
Vitamin B12, D & folate levels
Thyroid function tests
Liver and kidney function tests
Electrolyte balance
Inflammatory markers
Autoimmune profiles when clinically indicated
These tests are essential for evaluating fatigue, neuropathy, memory changes, weakness, or unexplained neurological symptoms.
Advanced Brain & Nerve Imaging
2. Neuroimaging for Accurate Diagnosis
We use the latest imaging technology to assess brain structure and detect neurological abnormalities.
Our imaging services include:
MRI Brain – gold standard for assessing Parkinson’s mimics, strokes, tumors, demyelination, and structural abnormalities
CT Scan Brain – used when MRI is not feasible or for emergency evaluation
DaTscan (when indicated) – specialized imaging to differentiate Parkinson’s disease from other parkinsonian syndromes
Detailed imaging guides treatment decisions and allows early detection of subtle neurological changes.
Specialized Neurodiagnostic Tests
3. EEG (Electroencephalogram)
Used to assess electrical activity in the brain for:
Video EEG monitoring can be recommended for difficult-to-diagnose seizure disorders.
4. Nerve Conduction Studies & EMG
These tests evaluate nerve and muscle function and help diagnose:
They play a key role in detecting early nerve damage and guiding rehabilitation.
5. Disease-Specific Biomarker Testing
For Parkinson’s and other movement disorders, advanced biomarker testing may include:
These tests are available through collaboration with specialized labs and research programs.
Additional Clinical Laboratory Services
6. Routine Monitoring for Long-Term Neurology Care
Chronic neurological conditions require continuous monitoring to ensure medication safety and effectiveness.
We offer:
Drug level monitoring (e.g., anti-epileptic drugs)
Screening for side effects of long-term Parkinson’s medications
Surveillance for anemia, vitamin imbalances, infection markers, and metabolic abnormalities
This ensures safe, optimized therapy for every patient.
7. Preoperative & Postoperative Testing for DBS and Other Procedures
Patients undergoing Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) or other neurological interventions receive dedicated lab panels, including:
These tests help ensure safe surgery and smooth recovery.
Integrated, Patient-Centered Diagnostic Pathway
At Dr. HK’s Neuro and Parkinson’s Clinic, diagnostic services are seamlessly integrated with specialist consultations, treatment planning, and follow-up care.
Our approach ensures:
Faster diagnosis
Minimized delays in treatment
Accurate interpretation of complex neurological findings
