Guest guest Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I have read the recent related posts which has prompted me to post our experience. Earlier this year we had a number of tests through an NHS Neurologist, the lumbar puncture, blood samples, urine samples and MRI scan. We have also been referred to a Geneticist and to the GOLD Project All tests from neurologist came back 'normal' except for the MRI showing a mild degree of periventricular leukomalacia and the blood ammonia being high at 73 umol/L which was explained away by stating he had a toruniquet to take the sample and that can lead to a false high reading. I started him on 900mg of Alpha Ketaglutric Acid and restricted meat protein in any event. However this was retested in Oct by dripping the blood (my sons veins are too deep and narrow apparently to take any other way unless he is sedated) and still came back high. Also has high Urea Serum at 7.0 mmol/L and high Creatinine Serum at 66 umol/L. I only got hold of a copy of the results via community paediatrecian today who couldn't explain to me their significance. Left exasperated as I have called the neurologist every day for weeks to discuss the results! If anyone has any comments on what these might indicate I would be very grateful or if anyone has seen a Metabolic Dr they would recommend. I have decided to try yasko to see if that sheds any light on matters for us. Waiting for the kit, hope we don't need too much blood!
