serum bicarb lactate for initial screening??

[Guest guest]

My children have been on the mito cocktail since September. We do

not live near any of the major mito centers and that is why the

children have not yet had a formal evaluation. A local doctor does

an initial screening using the level of serum bicarb lactate (or

something close to that). Has anyone ever heard of such a test? Is

it accurate? The testing that I have seen for mito includes many,

many tests. My husband prefers denial, and I don't want to risk a

false negative, when all indicators are that the condition really is

present in both our children. Thanks, Diane

BTW, if this is a duplicate post, I hope the moderator will delete

it.)
