reference ranges differ between labs, so comparing two labs

apob not ldl-c

anyone have before and after numbers they are willing to post, for my own notes

get a baseline

thats a big move

the same draw split between two labs came back about eight percent apart on one marker. that is the noise floor

i had a thyroid number drift and the repeat was fine. i am glad i repeated before i worried, with the reference range though

an isolated lipase a bit over range with no symptoms is usually nothing. lipase with severe pain is not

lab error maybe

ranges differ by lab and by assay, so comparing an absolute number across two providers is a trap

one for the apob people trend beats absolute for almost everything on a panel except the ones where it does not, bring the printout

ha, ask for it specifically
