Prominent urinary dysfunction and delayed antibody detection in patients with glial fibrillary acidic protein astrocytopathy: a case series analysis
This case series underscores the high frequency of autonomic urinary dysfunction and the potential for delayed antibody detection in Chinese GFAP-A patients. These findings suggest that clinical suspicion should remain high even with initial negative antibody testing, warranting repeat CSF analysis in suspected cases to avoid diagnostic delay.
