My Cookie had laryngitis this year and I was freaking...thought for sure she had some kind of tumor or something.  Easy for me to be calm with others, but my own? Oh no. haha |
Hey Girl, no a basic lab test will not detect a shunt or mvd. They must preform a Bat test then a Urine test for crystals then the next step would be a test called Transcolonic portal scintigraphy, But thats for a shunt or mvd.
