I've read about the scintigraphy (*sp), and that does seem to be the next step in diagnosing. My gut tells me that she does have a shunt… which makes me reluctant to keep putting money into diagnosis when ultimately I would have to pay for a surgery anyways.
I was under the impression that such high BAT results kind of ruled out MVD? I thought MVD generally gave results of 100 or lower? |
I have to agree with all advice above. Cornell (in upstate NY) is suppose to be very good as well.
I honestly suggest speaking with a Specialist and doing a Protein C test, which isn't expensive at all and then go from there.
As far a the post # - anything is possible. I do believe that Miko (Yorkieluv) had a post of 300 and he DOESN'T have a shunt - he has MVD
Keep us posted
