LABORATORY REFERENCE RANGES

in science •  7 years ago 

Laboratory reference ranges are generated based on so many factors.

  1. Race
  2. Diet and lifestyle
  3. Environmental factors
  4. Genetics etc
    So there is the need for every country to establish its own ranges for the laboratory. In most African countries ranges used are from the North America and European countries. And these ranges cannot to used any longer because of the difference of the factors listed above. In Ghana Medlab Ghana is under going a project to help generate reference range for all anlaytes measured. From hematology, biochemistry, immunology, and other measureable anlaytes.. Lets support the idea and make the laboratory a better place. Always remember :YOUR HEALTH FIRST.. GOOD NIGHT STEEMITS

Reference ranges are there for reference... Not the bible! But we all need to establish our own population references!
