Re: High Titers ? : Measles, Mumps and Rubella

[Guest guest]

Each lab uses different techniques. It's best to look at the lab form, and see

where it says " out-of-range " or " abnormal " . Labs know that doctors even need it

all spelled out for them. So, the lab will denote what is abnormal or

out-of-range or at least mention what is considered normal or in-range and then

give the patient's results for you to compare.

I see that you did put the reference range in, but they usually also post

something that lets you know that your number is out-of-range. > means greater

than and < means less than. When they put >= to, they mean anything greater or

equal to. But, each doc has their view on what is considered high because each

pathogen has it's own interpretation and effects. So, a doctor may say that

most people have high titers to a certain pathogen, and dismiss it. On another

note, we have had low normals, but within range, on test results that the docs

considered abnormal or a significant contributor to the problem. Also, the doc

takes into consideration the child's current treatment to see if it might have

increased the titers. Sorry, for all the rambling.
