Why do normal values vary so much between lab sites?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal values: Normal values may vary due to the difference in the test brand name used and different values assigned for that test. I've noticed that too and it does look confusing but different companies use different technology designing their tests, so there is not much that can be done.
