Even though Lou Gehrig’s Disease has been around for over a century, there is yet to be a single test that can diagnose a person on whether they have ALS or not according to the ALS Association.  We should view diagnosing ALS as a process, becuase it is usually a series of tests that includes blood and urine studies, biopsy of the nerve and muscle, neurological exam, spinal tap, and other procedures.  Even then, it may still be unclear whether a person has the disease or not because there are other diseases that can mimic ALS.  Since it is so difficult to diagnose, it is often recommended that one should seek a second opinion from an ALS expert to confirm.
