Handbook

Handbook of reference values ​​of health indicators.This program differs from similar ones for free, the real absence of any advertising, a small amount of memory, the ability to work autonomously without the Internet (the Internet is required only periodically to check new data), the successful presentation of information - by study groups and their types, so as is customary in laboratory practice.Wide and detailed ranges of reference values ​​of indicators for different ages (up to and including the infant, which is convenient when observing the child) and different sexes, if the indicators provide for this.And, finally, a smart search for indicators that can be looked for both by the usual names of the indicators of analysis, and by their international names and abbreviations (abbreviations) adopted by the World Health Organization.The program mainly includes only the most frequently encountered needs in understanding the results of research in a healthy person. Most often, these are the quantitative values ​​and ranges of the values ​​of certain analytical indicators.For a person who is constantly under the supervision of a doctor, as a rule, all the transcript is made by the doctor. Therefore, interpretation of the results in the program is not provided intentionally - for lack of reasons for incorrect conclusions. For common misconceptions read below.Reference values.This is a medical term used to evaluate the results of laboratory studies; is defined as the average value of a specific laboratory indicator, which was obtained in a mass survey of a healthy population. The term reference values ​​is used as a synonym.Different laboratories use different types of equipment and various research methods. Therefore, each laboratory sets its ranges of reference values ​​depending on the equipment used and the method of analysis. Accordingly, when issuing the result, each laboratory should indicate in the results form the reference interval approved in this laboratory.Range of reference values.That is why there is no such thing as a single range of reference values. When evaluating the results of laboratory tests, your doctor should refer to the range of reference values ​​that the laboratory to which you have been screened will provide. All information about the reference values ​​of the indicators of this program is taken from open sources. The basis was the data of the "Independent Laboratory Invitro" ™.Common misconceptions.1. "The result of the analysis that is not appropriate to the norm is a sign of the disease" is a wrong judgment, in fact the result of the test, which is outside the range of reference values, only indicates to your treating doctor that he needs to appoint a further examination or repeated research. An inappropriate result does not necessarily indicate a problem in your body, but the doctor must understand the reason for this result.2. "If all my research results are normal, I have nothing to worry about" - this is certainly a good sign, but a set of studies by itself is not a guarantee of the absence of problems in the body. Sometimes this can accompany an unnoticed problem.Good healht to you and your family!
