Have you ever left an appointment with your GP feeling confused, your blood tests labeled as 'normal' yet you still feel unwell? I've been in that situation too. The issue with reference ranges in blood tests is that they often include data from sick individuals, broadening the range and potentially obscuring more subtle abnormalities.
Typically, results aren't thoroughly analysed or reviewed unless values significantly deviate from these established medical or reference ranges. In this database, I aim to introduce you to the concept of “optimal” ranges, as used by functional practitioners. These ranges are usually more narrow, focusing on levels that support optimal health, rather than just falling within a broad 'normal' spectrum.
The medical reference ranges utilised in this module may vary depending on the different pathology companies used. The ranges presented within this module are based on non-pregnant adults hence why I created a lesson, 'How Pregnancy Impacts Pathology' for completeness.
