Hi Dr. Ruscio,
Are there functional lab ranges for intrinsic factor antibodies or are the convention lab ranges ok to go by?
For some lab results, the functional range is a little more narrow than conventional.
I had the antibody test done for intrinsic factor and it came back negative , the results for gastric parietal cells came back less than 20.
Also, I have autoimmune thyroid.
Thanks
Hi Veronica,
I use the normal ranges for this AI. Hope this helps 🙂
