Check with the Lab: It would be prudent to ask your doctor to query the lab for an explanation. Specimen mix-up is one likely explanation. The lab should offer to redo the test without any charge to you.

CONFUSION: Many things may have happened including the lab mixing up your results and someone elses. Have the drs question the lab and find out. Or repeat the tests. Our civilization has many confusions that you just have to straighten out.
