Quest lab - is it reliable?
I am getting this test done. It is a Her2 ELISA test from Quest Diagnostics. But the range for this test is 0-13.8 which is different from the regular one which has <15 as normal range. I would really like to know from Dr. Carney if this test is reliable as the regular one.
