Positive urine LUAT test confirm Lyme...?

Yes you can be very confident a positive LUAT test confirms Lyme. Basically, the only thing besides Lyme that can produce a positive result would be if you had had a UTI.

The LUAT is more reliable than the Western Blot for many:
"It was found that 30% of patients with Lyme disease (251 EM positive) had a positive Lyme Urine Antigen Test (LUAT) and 8% had a concurrent positive serology. The LUAT was positive in all three phases of disease: early (less than 60 days), before serology was positive; during treatment (60 days to 1 year); and a late period (greater than 360 days), when serology was often negative. Although Lyme borreliosis is defined by clinical diagnosis, various markers from the laboratory, such as specific antibodies and antigen, can aid in this process. The presence of specific antigen of B. burgdorferi in the urine of patients with Lyme borreliosis may be an adjunctive marker to the clinical diagnosis and traditional serological assays."

Thanks for the responses.

Does anyone know if being on abx effects the LUAT?

I had been on abx for 4-6 days when I did the 3 samples. And definitely didn't have a UTI.

Thanks! I thought that was probably the case.

Roxie, I'm not sure of the exact cost for this test. My LLMD required me get quite a few so I had to agree to the total cost for all the testing - before she would treat me.

My results were:
IFA 80
31 IND
39 IND
41 ++
41 +
PCR urine: positive
