Re: interpreting urine porphyrins test

July 3, 2008

I'd like to see it. I don't know if you can post it somewhere, like the AM

list files section (if Dana has cleared it out so that there's some room there

now), or perhaps Dean would be willing to take it?

(And you can't be sure it was done right. Very minor mishandling at the lab

can lead to false negatives - like pouring the urine into a graduated cylinder,

for example. If it's positive, you can be more confident that it was done

correctly; if it's negative, you can't know.)

PS. There are some norms posted in the AM files section, if you want to go

have a look there.

I just got the results of my urine porphyrins test back.

I got it from Metametrix and they had me freeze the sample before shipping it.

I don't have any doubt it was done properly.

How do I interpret it? I've checked Moria's site and onibasu and this forum's

archives already.

How can I do this? What numbers do I look at?

There is a file in the files section of autism mercury that Andy wrote

to help interpret kid's test results.

I would search autism mercury archives using onibasu because there

have been several people discussing interpretations there.
