A member asked:

Hi kidney profile blood test. result is below reference range. sodium 134 mmol/l range is 136 - 145. what does this mean please. thanks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Almost normal: 134 may be normal for you. Normal tests are the central 95% of the distribution in health people. In other words, 5% of normal people have some abnormal lab values.
