Guest guest Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 wow.. good question! I have a grandaughter ( turned 1 to my 16year old.)and they have never tested her? Maybe my son/as uncle is differnent protocol. Wondering how you got the baby tested. See, think you have the test normals that I have dealt with. as 2.2 or over as high. Don't know what that means. Just like you I worry that if mito goes thru the mom's somehow.. and gets passed to the next generation. So should they send the baby to a metabolic doc? Wish when my son was appearing to be on his death bed when he was 4.. someone would have ?'ed why his lactate levels where so high. Early intervention is the key. So they say. LOL.. but I tried everything and my kid still stands as the beginning of the autism epidemic here. Kathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 As far as my son goes his Lactic Acid level was 17 at his last blood drawn. His mito Doctor said it was high but not to be over concerned. My son is 9 years old. It seams like every Doctor has their own feeling about these levels as to when to worry. Good Luck.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 Kathy, My grandson is already seeing a metabolic doc, so I think that you should try to get your granddaughter in for testing if you are worried about her. Our type of mito is maternally inherited, and we were told there is a 95 % to 100 % chance it would be passed along from the mother. I guess it depends on which type of mito your family has as to whether it is inherited through the mother or not. KAFoley2@... wrote: wow.. good question!
