Your lab results arrive and you see numbers, abbreviations, and maybe some “H” or “L” flags. What does it all mean?
📊 Reference Ranges: These “normal” ranges are based on healthy population averages, but what’s normal for you might be slightly different based on age, sex, and health history.
🚩 Flags: “H” means high, “L” means low, and “*” indicates a critical value needing immediate attention.
🔬 Context is Key: A single abnormal result doesn’t always mean something is wrong. Your doctor considers your complete health picture, symptoms, and trends over time.
That’s why we always recommend discussing results with your healthcare provider. They can explain what your specific numbers mean for YOUR health journey.
