I have had abnormally high numbers on lab testing by my Immunologist. If so, do you know what illness it points to in regards to TBI's?

I was reading about TBI's. Really interesting. Did you test pos. for any of the individual marker tests for TBI's. What else has the immunologist found?

technically LDH is a nonspecific marker, but in my opinion elevated LDH most likely indicates either babesia or bartonella.

If all you have had tested is total LDH it might be good to also test the individual isoenzymes. If the isoenzymes indicate that red blood cells are involved with the elevated LDH then my answer above probably applies.

I think there is also one enzyme that measures either muscle or nerves -- it has been awhile since hubby tested anything except the total number.

Hubby's LDH numbers have been bouncing around all summer since he is treating babesia aggressively. One month it will be normal and then the next month it will be elevated. Highest was 244 and lowest was 149. Normal range of 91 -180.
