Die amerikanische MCS Organisation Chemical Injury Information Network hat eine Liste
über Diagnosemethoden veröffentlicht.
The following tests have been found by CIIN to be helpful in documenting biologic markers for MCS:
To detect chemicals, their metabolites, or heavy metals in the body:
1. Blood tests.
2. Urine tests.
3. Fat biopsies.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Immune system testing:
1. Antibody Assay testing for chemical antibody formation.
2. Activated Lymphocyte Profiles.
3. Autoimmune Disease Profiles.
4. Autoimmune Profiles for nervous system disorders.
5. Allergy testing for foods, molds, pollens, and chemicals.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Metabolic testing:
1. Porphyria
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Neuropsychological testing:
1. Complete neurological examination.
2. Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans.
3. Quantified Electroencephalogram (qEEG) with evoked potentials.
4. Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) scans.
5. Neurobehavioral testing.
a) Halstead-Reitan.
b) Wide Range Achievement Test-Revised.
c) Pittsburgh Occupational Exposure Tests.
d) Tests for concentration such as Digit Span and/or Digit Symbol.
e) California Verbal Learning Test.
Note: MCS victims as a group do not score well on psychosocial adjustment tests such as the MMPI, MMPI-2, PAIS, and the SAS-SR. However, these tests are not appropriate diagnostic tools for MCS in the first place because they interpret any chronic health complaint as psychosomatic in origin.
Other testing considerations:
1. Enzyme testing for cholinesterases, antioxidants, liver, etc.
2. Amino acids profiles: Standard Panel and Neuropsychiatric Panel.
3. Rhinolaryngoscopic examination to check for damage in the nasal passages.
4. Conditions and disorders associated with specific chemical exposures such as aplastic anemia, pulmonary function tests, heart monitoring, detailed and sensitive testing for various organ and/or system damage, etc.
