We got the results from Hannah’s gaucher markers bloodwork.  These are the three levels that are incredibly raised when the patient has Gaucher’s Disease.  I’m waiting to hear back from Dr. Schiffmann on whether this is what he had hoped/expected, but they do look significantly down in just three months!

From 2/9/09 to 5/4/09:
Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) – 205 IU/L down to 102 IU/L  (normal 26 to 106)
Chitotriosidase (CHITO) – 636 nmoles/hr/ml down to 215 nmoles/hr/ml  (normal 4 to 120)
Tartrate resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) – 52.1 IU/L down to 20.2 (normal 3 to 10)
