How do I read my results?

Each result comes with its reference range. Reference ranges are based on a healthy population, so a healthy person can fall outside them and someone with a health problem can fall within them. If a result is outside the range, or you have symptoms with a normal result, take your results to a doctor you trust, such as your GP.
