My abnormal results from these tests:
🧪Low LAD
🧪Th1/Th2 Ratio
🧪Borderline NK Cells
My abnormal results from before:
🧪Protein S deficiency
🧪Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 4g/5g polymorphism
🧪MTHFR Heterozygous for C677T
🧪LAD test:

✅ Normal Results: Normal results indicate that you have tested positive for leukocyte antibodies in your bloodstream. A normal LAD level is above 50%.
❇️ Borderline Normal: Borderline normal results mean that you do have leukocytes antibodes in your blood, but in less than typical quantities. A measurement between 30% and 50% is considered borderline.
❎ Abnormal Results: Abnormal results indicate very low levels of leukocyte antibodies in the bloodstream. Levels of less than 30% are considered abnormal.
