Our Vitamin A/E deficient lady, has responed to Vit E replacement but not to
Vitamin A. She has a haemolyic anaemia (ChristchurchHaemoglobin). She has a
low Apo B, low LDL and Cholesterol, and a low Zinc. Could the Zinc
deficiency reflect the haemolytic anaemia? We hope Zinc replacement might
improve the Vitamin A level, can anyone link it to the low Apo B? We feel
there must be a faulty Apo B, so can anyone measure Apo B 100 for us please?
