Well all my labs are back and hopefully I will hear back from my LLMD soon.

Here are some labs that were ordered and I haven't a clue what they are or why they were done.

So hoping you could help me.

HLA DR by PCR 2 pages of results ex. DRB 1,2, 3, 4, and 5 / HLA DQ,/ VEGF Serum/ Leptin Serum/ C3a/ C4a..

I have searched for these labs but can't find any info I understand..

Thanks for any help..

Phyl, the C3a and C4a check for infection/inflammation that can be caused by Lyme or mold.

Not sure what the others are.

Do you have the results with you?

HLA DR tests (DRB 1,2,3,4,5) and HLA DQ tests are to look for genes that might affect your ability to deal with Lyme/coinfections.

VEGF and Leptin Serum are markers some use to look for mold toxin or other related issues.

C3a & C4a are general markers of inflammation (immune activation)...but they do not tell where in the body the inflammation is occurring.

Thanks Razzle and Hambone..

Hambone, yes I have the results, looks like all are negative. Except the Leptin Serum somewhat elevated. Could be due to the fact I am overweight.

Razzle thank you for your translations. Gee all my test look negative..Well the HLA was hard to .
figue out but no high or lows beside any numbers.
What are some other related issues as all mold test, toxins etc. negative.

Appreciate both of your replies.
