I know on Quest labs, the reference range is up to 8.00...it doesnt go higher...maxed out. Mine is always at 8.00 and I wish it would go higher so maybe I could tell when Im flaring, etc.

Charlie,

If yours are "maxed", then I would guess they are both positive.  You should ask for copies of the labs.
