Subject: Labs for pt with possible myasthenia gravis.. s/l modulating see message plz :)

Your office was kind enough to fax me the results of acetylcholine receptor antibody testing. His blocking antibody was elevated at 29 with a positive cutoff of 25. His modulating was elevated at 38 (normal 26) and his modulating at 6.8 (0.5).  A thyroxine was 5.1.

New to typing labs. Does this look correct:

UA reveals 2+ ketones, greater than 1.030 specific gravity, 0 glucose. Micro reveals 0 to 1 WBCs, 1 to 2 RBC, rare bacteria, 2 to 4 epithelials with 1+ s/l muc (she may cut off at end, hard to tell).

Any help at all is greatly appreciated.
LABS
Subject: LABS

I've always found it helpful to have a lab sheet in front of me when doing these. You know, the actual printed form that docs check off when they send patient for tests? They usually dictate right from the results sheet and the tests are in alphabetical order within groupings. If your dictator can't supply one, just get one from your own doc -- they're pretty much the same from one lab to the next. I'm still using one I got from a hospital lab back in the Dark Ages when we worked in hospitals.
