klukluklu Posted February 10, 2017 Report Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) I had that done. I don't know its reference values but I was told it was "normal".

Currently marathon testing in UFC. Edited February 10, 2017 by klukluklu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
