Latest ORGANIC ACIDS TEST

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

We just received OAT results from GPL (testing done on Nov 7). It

shows HIGH Yeast/fungal issues. Arabinose was 71.00

(normal range 0 to 47) and carboxycitric was 97.82 (normal range 0 to

46) . Bacterial markers were in the normal range. The only other

High number was Oxalate which was 125.19 (normal range 0 to 37). All

other figures were in normal range.. There is no sign of ketosis (as

was shown in OAT results through Quest done on Sept 18. Whatever

figures were extremely High in that test were all in normal range in

the new results. Could figures change in such a short time????

Other results show K-pyroles were normal but the Sulphate to

Creatinine ratio was 3.82 (normal being 0.2 to 2.5) rated as HIGH.

What does this ratio indicate?

Thanks,

Sudha
