Reference Range
Topics:
AI in Healthcare
The span of values considered typical for a lab test, usually printed alongside your result on a lab report. Reference ranges vary slightly between labs and testing methods, and a value just outside the range is not automatically a medical problem -- context, trend over time, and your individual history all matter. This is one of the areas where AI can genuinely help by explaining what a range means and why it might differ from another lab's range for the same test.
