I am not sure how to convert the numbers to do a ratio wiht this. BUT I will say

yes oyu have an RT3 problem as your RT3 is over 50% of it's range which si NEVER

good!

OK thanks for your reply .

When I next do the RT3 test, what bloods and measurements do I ask for it to be

in to work out the ratio properly ?

Thanks again
