I NEED YOUR DETAIL OPINION AND ADVICE ., I HAVE ATTACHED THE LATEST AND OLD ONE PLEASE ADVICE

Answered by Dr. Arun (57 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
both suggest improvement

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
I have seen all the reports.
In both the kids
1. There has been abnormal levels of many aminoacids related to tryptophan metabolism in the first report in January.
This could be due due to tryptophan metabolic imbalance.

The values of valine luecine and glutamic acid etc have normalised in the latest report.

2. Continue current treatment plan. You are on the right track

Wishin both the kids good health.
Regards
Dr Arun
