Laboratory Reference Ranges
Normal ranges for common laboratory tests and values.
Common Laboratory Reference Ranges
| Test Name | Category | Normal Range | Units | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hemoglobin - Child(5 yrs to 14 years) | Hematology | >11.5 | mg/dl | Values may differ from lab to lab due to use of different reagents. |
| Hemoglobin - Child(upto 5 years) | Hematology | >11 | mg/dl | Values may differ from lab to lab due to use of different reagents. |
| Hemoglobin - Female(non-pregnant) | Hematology | >12 | mg/dl | Values may differ from lab to lab due to use of different reagents. |
| Hemoglobin - Female(pregnant) | Hematology | >11 | mg/dl | Values may differ from lab to lab due to use of different reagents. |
| Hemoglobin - Male | Hematology | >13 | mg/dl | Values may differ from lab to lab due to use of different reagents. |
| Platelets | Hematology | 1,50,000 - 4,50,000 | per microliter | Values may differ depending on laboratory. |
Important Notes
Reference ranges may vary: These are general reference ranges and may differ between laboratories and populations. Always consult with the specific laboratory's reference ranges for accurate interpretation.
Clinical correlation required: Laboratory results should always be interpreted in the context of clinical findings, patient history, and other relevant information.
Age and gender considerations: Many reference ranges vary by age, gender, and physiological conditions (pregnancy, etc.).
