A member asked:
Hi. hope you are well. i would like to know if going for a blood test by a different lab can give different results?

Lab results: There may be slight variability which is why each lab provides a "normal range" for the specific test.

It can: Some lab results differ by method of testing. However, each lab should be reporting their normal range and you should compare your result to the lab's normal range. Wish you good health!
