Reading the report
What the H and L flags on a lab report actually assert
A flag compares your number to the range printed beside it on that page — nothing more. What it does not tell you, and why healthy people collect them.
Why the same blood test has different "normal" ranges at different labs
Reference intervals are built from each lab's own population and equipment, which is why two labs can print different ranges for the same sample.
