I recently had testing done and some of the tests I am not familiar with.

Mutated Citrullinated vimentin MCV AB. 53
Reference range <20

Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor VEGF 124
Reference range 31-86

Babesia Duncani WA1 Antibody IGG IFA. 1.256 H
> or = 1:256 antibody detected

Can anyone help?

This link has some info on VEGF. It is interesting in that it says if you have a high VEGF it indicates Bartonella. They also use this lab test when dealing with mold sickness. But I am not sure what it indicates in regards to mold.

Looks like you have or have been exposed to Babesia Ducani.

The Mutated Citrullinated Vimentin MCV looks like to be an early indicator of arthritis. Do you have joint pain?

Be sure to ask your physician what these all mean as well.
