Hi
<br />
<br />I'd just like to add that my daughter Sophie is PS and her levels are above 500 and she definately has CF.
<br />
<br />We check her levels annually just to make sure.
<br />

WOW! You are all such wonderful, caring, helpful people! I'm an honored you would take the time to respond and help out with info so quickly. HARRIET, I have noticed you are always so willing to help and answer questions on this board, and you seem to know a lot from your experience! The website links are MUCH appreciated!!! YMIKHALE, thanks for your response; I will google "Normal elastase", and I agree, diagnosis for CF should be left ultimately to sweat testing or genetics, not an elastase test. My daughter had sweat tests in the 30's and a positive fat malabsorption test. We've been trying to get a diagnosis for 3 years! We're asking for genetic Ambry testing now. EDAN, I will be praying for your newly diagnosed child...passing on to me what your doc said about elastase ranges is very helpful! MOMMAFIRST and SOPHIE, I appreciated your replies as well. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR PRECIOUS CHILDREN!
