Laboratory tests: such as serum muscle enzyme test, immune-related antibody test, blood gas analysis, electrolyte test, vitamin level test, toxicology screening, metabolic function test, gene test, cerebrospinal fluid test, etc., which can determine whether there is a related etiology leading to myasthenia gravis.
