Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to HCM,
there is variation in results from lab to lab. As long as it is within the range, it is normal.
If it is in higher limit of normal, we should repeat test to see whether there is rising titre.
Can you revert back with the range given in the two episodes that you got your test done?
