Blood test help.

[alwaysswimming]

Can anyone tell me what VDAL stands for on a blood request form?

Is it definitely VDAL not VDRL

yes its definitely VDAL.

Is it handwritten? Asking as know what VDRL is not sure about VDAL

It is handwritten but definitely VDAL. VDRL wouldn't fit as it is a neurology problem.

Just tried to find it on google, but shows only VDRL - no DVAL?

same here tried checking medical abbs, types blood test, nothing just vdrl

VDRL really would make sense especially if you say it is in relation to a neurological problem. VDRL would fit for a neurological investigation.

arrh thank you very much.

It must be VDRL.

Sorry to keep asking questions but on looking at the link enlightened gave and then searching neurosyphilis. why would they do a blood test for this when they have already done a spinal tap which was normal and an MRI scan that shows something on the spinal cord that they're not sure what it is.

You need to have a chat with your consultant. You can wander randomly round the internet for hours without firming up any answers.
