Identifying serum antibodies for acetylcholine receptors is the test most commonly used to diagnose the disease.
Additionally the tensilon (edrophonium chloride)test can be undertaken where edrophonium chloride is given intravenously and an improvement is noted in affected patients which is demonstrated by increased muscle strength.
Also an ElISA is now available which identifies circulating antibody to the acetylcholine receptor.
