Hello,
This is my first post here. I'm suffering from symptoms that resemble cfs for almost 3 years. I've done a ton of tests and everything is fine. One doctor eventually diagnosed me with cfs, but he didn't do anything about it.
I read that low nk cell function may be used as a biomarker, so I found a lab that do this test.
The results are following:
NK function: 33.9%(Ref. range 20-40)
NK lymphocyte number: 0.32(Ref. range 0.29-0.60)
I also did Th1/Th2 profile, and the results are:
INFγ: 26950 pg/ml(Ref. range 3160-22534)
Interleukin-4: 130 pg/mL(Ref. range 27-123)
Th1/Th2: 226.9(Ref. range 80.9-226.4)
I also did antibody tests for EBV and CMV:
CMV IgG: 280.2 U/mL(Ref. range 0-1)
CMV IgM: 0.336 COI(Ref. range 0-1)
EBV VCA IgG: 11.6(Ref. range 0-1.1)
EBV VCA IgM: 0.145(Ref. range 0-1.1)
Can I have CFS with this results? Has anyone with CFS have similar results?
Here is one study that connects CFS with low NK cell function:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8148445
The problem is that in that study the unit of measure are LU and not percentage, so I cannot compare those results with mine. However, the ref. range is 20-250 LU and nobody with CFS had >100. However, results in healthy controls are not evenly distributed. So, I don't know what to make of my results...
