ALT, LDH and Chelation therapy

Hi Birgitta-A,

Many thanks for the answer and tips about vitamin C and liver tests. Appreciate that.

http://forums.marrowforums.org/archi...hp?t-2192.html ----> High liver count threads.

I recheck my mom blood test results and noticed that there is ALT.

My mom ALT is 41 on 23/10/2012 and 76 on 7/11/2012. The ref range is 0-40. LDH is high at 320 on 7/11/2012. The ref range is 135-225. I read in the web that the LDH high can caused by many factors, same for ALT. The best way is keep monitoring the pattern. If you have better understanding, Hope you can share with me. Thanks.

I have further question about the ferriprox and Exjade, hope you can shed some light on this. Thanks in advance.

About Ferriprox and Exjade, since both reduce WBC, Just wondering why you choose Exjade ? Is it because Ferriprox bring down the WBC quicker than Exjade or any other specific reasons.

When you tried Ferriprox and WBC go low, did you go for BT and continue with Ferriprox or you just switch to EXjade directly when you found out the WBC is low ?

FYI. According to the goverment hospital, as Exjade is very expensive, they dont provide that medicine. I would like to be ready if Ferriprox brings down the WBC too much compare to Exjade, then i will try to get the Exjade ready at home first as if we order from the pharmacy, it will takes pretty long time.
