We recently received our test results from Igenex and are confused by the results. The non LLMD PC that signed off on the testing is considering the test results as negative - but I disagree.
Here are the results: LYME IgG Western Blot **31 IND **39 Positive **41 Positive **83-93 Positive
LYME IgM Western Blot **39 IND **41 IND
IFA B Burgdorferi G/M/A Negative
Genomic B burgdorferi Negative
Plasmid B burgdorferi Negative
We are just really confused! His amonia levels are also very high and they now want to do a liver biopsy. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

georgia,
may i suggest you copy this to MEDICAL vs. posting it here in SEEKING DR. area; it won't be read by many here unfortunately.
go to top of MEDICAL and look for LYMETOO's western blot explanation. copy it off and then circle the positives/ind that showed up on your tests. that will explain a little,
then read dr. c's explanation over and over until it starts to sink in ok.
others will comment on your other tests done ok! Posted by Meg (Member # 22) on :
