Reference Units and Ranges
* Laboratories may use different units of measurement for test results and provide reference ranges for various ages and genders.
* Users can adjust and store reference units and ranges in the Medical Tests Analyzer tool.
* Lab test parameters like calcium, sodium, and potassium can be reported in mmol/L or mg/dL.
* The analyzer recognizes different measurement units than those used by labs.
* Reference ranges vary from lab to lab, and results should be interpreted accordingly.
* Users can update reference units and ranges through the 'Reference Ranges' interface.
Laboratory Testing
* Laboratory tests can detect blood-related and non-blood disorders.
* These tests monitor disease progression and treatment effectiveness.
* Comprehensive blood counts, hormone and electrolyte levels, leukocyte types, and blood plasma protein levels are commonly analyzed.
* Blood samples are collected to establish normal values (reference ranges) for comparison.
* By comparing patient blood values to reference ranges, health issues can be diagnosed or ruled out.
