KPU test positive

[LNN]

LLLM -- so do you continually test for KPU? how do you know when you've reached the proper balance?

thanks.

I don't know the answer yet. We just started in August. I suspect we'd do a second urine test when we get to a point where we're thinking we're at the end of treatment - to see if it was lyme-induced or life long. But I don't think you do urines throughout - the urine tests for pyroles but doesn't tell you about mineral equilibriums. For that, I know we'll be doing blood draws every few months to check the other minerals. But good question - obviously if a blood test doesn't give you a reliable zinc number, how do you know when you're giving enough but not too much. Something to add to my list of questions at our next appt. next month.

Here's another discussion on pyroluria I found on LiveStrong - part of Lance Armstrong's organization...
