I came across this older article and thought I share. Please note our Administrators (Neil, Sofia, etc) are the ones who are very knowledgeable and are the best in answering your questions.

Thanks Spi. I also find this chart to be a very comprehensive but general indicator of normal lab ranges (in the U.K.) It doesn’t differentiate between male and female ranges however and there can be variations across health areas. We have to bear in mind that there are variations in reporting ranges in the USA. which can sometimes cause confusion. Any reliance on percentages isn’t particularly useful either.

Sofia is indeed very knowledgeable but not an Administrator on the site so may not appreciate the questions being directed to her 😉
