CD-57 results in % - HELP!

Anyone?? This is driving me nuts! I am going to go run for a while - I'll be back on later! Thanks!

 

It was done through LabCorp and is was 5%.

 

Since it is so low "5", it's probably a precentage. A percentage of "what" I don't know. Make the doctor who ordered the test answer your questions for you.... or you may want to try the LabCorp website...... hope this helps.

If you have a Labcorp results report you should probably have the two following lines from a CD57 test:

%CD8-/CD57+ Lymphs  -%      2-17  (normal range)

Abs.CD8-CD57+ Lymphs -/uL     60-360 (normal range)

The "-" is what your specific numbers are.  The bottom number (the Abs (Absolute) number) is generally what is tracked.  Under 60 is low.  The % number you mention 5% is in the normal range but the other number is often whats referred to in Lyme testing.

Many LLMDs no longer place a significant emphasis on CD-57 - the correlation has still not been firmly established.

Hope this helps.

OK, I got my results in the mail. My CD57 was 90.
