Cu = Copper- intoxication / -loaded

Cu + = Copper- intoxication / -loaded and a discrete Mercury intoxication

Hg = Mercury intoxication

Hg + = Mercury intoxication and intoxication / - loaded with other heavy metals.

1* Note: μg /g Creatinine

2* Note: ug/mg creatinine

3* Note: Patients with PD Plus (MSA) does not always have benefit of anti-PD-medication.

4* Note: Allergic reaction to some Heavy Metals tested with MELISA-test
