Importance of Blood Tests
Regular blood testing is a crucial step towards understanding your health and addressing various wellness concerns. It enables the early detection and management of health issues based on blood test results.
Understanding Reference Ranges
Blood test reports include reference ranges, which represent the usual values observed in a healthy population. These ranges provide a general context for interpreting your results. However, it's important to consider optimal health ranges, which indicate levels associated with better health outcomes.
Types of Reference Ranges
* Character Reference Range (or Reference Rest): Represents the expected range of values in healthy individuals.
* Optimal (Health) Range or Remedial Target: Represents levels associated with optimal health and reduced risk of complications.
Differences Between Reference Ranges and Optimal Ranges
In some cases, usual and optimal ranges may differ significantly, particularly for certain vitamins and blood lipids. This is why blood test reports often provide both types of ranges for reference.
