antibodies

Posted By l brown on July 31, 1998 at 23:01:41:







my first question is about the achr binding ab -- i know that any test above .02 is considered positive.  what is considered a boarderline test and what range is a high test? and will the removal of the thymus gland help with the achr binding antibodies? [or is the thymus removal only helpful with high achr modulating antibodies? or with straited muscle ab?]
my second question is about somatomedin-c -- i found information on the internet that when this hormone is low that it can cause the thymus to create antibodies. was that information helpful with treatment of mg when you also have somatomedin-c def.[ the tsh and thyroxine free level are low but in normal ranges]
is there anyway for find both a neuro/endo or some one with knowledge in both areas?
thank you for your assistance.
