Guest guest Posted May 4, 2005 Report Share Posted May 4, 2005 From Metametrix, they told me that Vit C is a diuretic, and that may have made the urine too dilute. Then Dr. just sent this: From: Dr. Bob Sent: Wednesday, May 04, 2005 11:28 AM To: jab@...; 'Bob ' Subject: RE: Hi guys, need some help The urine specimen received on 4/1 had a creatinine of 18.1. The urine received on 4/21 had a cratinine of less than 16. We still have the specimen from 4/1. We can analyze it and put a " low creatinine disclaimer " in the comment field. The results will come back high, but the physician can pseudo-normalize the reults by assuming a creatine value of 60. To do this, simply divide the results by 3. This method will pick up the truly abnormal results. Borderline abnormals may be missed. rmd Fw: Hi guys, need some help Lynn: This is a patient on my e-list: Please comment so I can give her an answer.
