Hi, I M Dr.Kumarbhargav
Consultant Pathologist
I m afraid that you have not given the data rightly,
What test you have done you have not mentioned,
Now regarding index value of 1.0 you have mentioned, and regarding it
- Index cut off value less than 0.9 is considered negative,
- Index cut off value of 0.9 and 1.0 is considered equivocal and require further evaluation especially with more advanced tests.
- index cut of value of more that 1.0 is considered preliminary positive which must be confirmed and verified by other superior methods.
So give our details correctly for further information.
Thanks for contacting health care magic, Take care.
