Rastløse bein: Diagnostikk
Diagnosen stilles ut ifra symptomene. Det finnes ingen tilleggsundersøkelser som kan bekrefte eller avkrefte diagnosen. Men det anbefales å kontrollere jernlagrene i kroppen. Dette gjøres med en enkel blodprøve. Viser prøven jernmangel, kan jerntilskudd føre til at symptomene forsvinner eller bedres.
Forskning tyder på at en del mennesker med rastløse bein kan ha mangel av jern i hjernen, selv om blodprøven ikke viser jernmangel. Legen kan beregne om pasienten kan ha nytte av å få jerntilskudd som behandling, ved hjelp av en enkel formel og blodprøvesvaret som viser jernstatus.
Unntaksvis kan legen være usikker på diagnosen. Da kan det være behov for å gjøre andre undersøkelser, som for eksempel flere blodprøver, nerveledningsmålinger eller undersøkelser i søvnlaboratorium.
