Mine comes out 1 also, BUT different labs use different values/scales/ratios, not sure of the terms I need, but we really can't feed our numbers in without more info...apples and oranges type thing.

For instance, your CSF IgG Index is 0.5 (normal 0.0 - 0.7),
my CSF IgG Index was 0.76 (normal 0 - 0.85)

given your labs "normal" mine would have been just a shade HIGH, but by the standards of the lab doing my workup, mine was still within normal range.

The link you posted seemingly presents yet a third range and value, not necessarily related to either of our labs standards.

I'm so tired, I just hope I'm making some sort of sense.

Well the point wasn't about the labs "normals" it was this link came up with a different CSF IgG Index number than what my report says I got. And the page tells you everything is in "mg" so if your labs isn't the same you can Google what it would be in "mg" and than put that number in.

My point was primarily that we don't know how they are calculating it, that different labs do it differently.

Who knows I could well be wrong.

If so, my report was wrong also, cause the link gave me a 1 as well.

That program seems to round to the nearest whole number, as I tried various combinations and it always came up a whole number.

.3 - .7 is "normal", but any number higher then .5 is going to round to 1 (perhaps even numbers lower then .5...?).

You may end up being dx with MS at some time, MX7, but not based on the results they have right now. I really don't think they would purposely lie and tell you something is normal when it is not . . .

Cherie, that makes since that the numbers are rounded up. I wasn't trying to show that my lab was wrong, I was just looking into what some of the numbers meant since my neuro still want tell me and I came across that site and tried just to see what number it came up with. Than when I saw it was different from my report I just wanted a few others here to try it to see if there's was right or wrong.

Thank you,
It's yucky here today, 40 and raining off and on.
And all 7 kids and DH are sick. I don't know why I haven't gotten it yet, but SO glad I haven't.
Oh and I still haven't heard back from the eye Dr. yet.

But I'm feeling good (other than a stubborn headache).

No you're not wrong. Labs do calculate things differently as do the machines. In fact, MRI's are each different. Hence, many neuro's will tell you which place to go to and to continue going to the same place for your MRI's.

MX7 - Hang in there. An abnormal LP could be caused by many different conditions. It is not a tell all for MS. Trust the lab and accept the values of your CSF.
