Topic: CD 57 test result as percentage

Having trouble understanding the CD57 result. Mine is listed as a percentage of lymphocyte. Most of the information I've read online talks about this as a specific number - with more than 200 as normal. Does anyone know how to convert a percentage to a number or is it more complicated?

My CD57 test has both the number and the %, along with the ranges for both.

Yours does not show any ranges?

Thanks for the response. My lab report only shows a percentage and indicates that it's "in range". It was done by Quest Diagnostics, not LabCorp. It is 13% - the note from my doctor says they prefer to see greater than 20. Others online have indicated that 8-17% is the normal range.

Mine was thru LabCorp

My % was 8 where the range is 2-17%

My # was 360 where the range is 60-360

Gets confusing, and I have to agree not to get too hung up on numbers.

According to my number, I am at the highest end of the range. And this was taken before any abx's.

welcome!

fyi, the board does NOT allow llmd LAST NAMES to be posted. please edit it and delete it. i'd change it to DR. S. IN CALIF.

to edit, click PENCIL ICON to right of your post where you showed llmd's last name.

pencil opens up BOTH SUBJECT LINE AND BODY TEXT, at this point, you can change anything, delete things, add more, etc.

be sure to make the lower left-hand corner so you get ALL REPLIES SENT TO YOUR HOME MAIL.

click EDIT SEND; done!

also, please EDIT MY PROFILE to allow PRIVATE MESSAGES be sent to you. you are in control of tht and can BLOCK posters from contacting you if you want to.

while you are in there, change towards bottom that you want the longest period of time for searches vs. default; you'll use this feature alot when you do searches on things you want prior comments/experiences on!

then send me a PM, that's 2 people standing together icon, and ask me to send you my 61 pages newbie links, advise, symtpoms, tests, disability, much more, and TREEPATROL'S archive link of over 1000 sites of good lyme info! thanks! [Wink]
