A member asked:

What does etg 3245 and ets 851 ng/ml on a lab test mean?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Alcohol use: this indicates that there was significant alcohol use in the few days prior to the test. This kind of result could come from a single drink on the night before the test or a major bender two days before the test. Another test called PEth (phosphotidyl ethanol) can better determine whether heavy drinking may have occurred.

A member asked:

I took an AMH test and the result is 3.23 ng/ml (34y), which seems normal. But the reference numbers provided by the lab are 5-9, so it's marked as low. Is it possible that there is such a difference with all other numbers online?
