Does anyone know very much about tgf-b1 and tgf-b1 testing? I
got a lab done by Quest Diagnostics and my tgf-b1 levels came
back high:
8,560 PG/ML and Normal is 344-2382
What exactly does this mean and is it very
serious?

It is an inflammation marker. Mine was high at one time (2 tests several months apart) and then came down after I had an infected tooth extracted. It can indicate mold, lyme, or some other illness causing inflammation in the body.
