I wonder if Dr. S will rerun the lactate and pyruvate tests when we go next week? Anyone know?

I would have to say that sometimes that is not correct.

If blood was drawn with tourniquet stillon (not free flowing) the result might not be accurate.

The kids are having EMG and nerve conduction tests tomorrow. DD is stressing big time about it all.

What do you all know about that? What does it indicate, etc. I have to get the lab sheet faxed Sun, 08 Nov 2009 21:10:04 GMT Katiebear http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Mito/message/98702 http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Mito/message/98702 sorry so long! Would a microarray pick up mito? I'm trying to understand this more since I'm currently left with more questions than answers.
