All sixteen are inside the lab range. Nine have no agreed tighter range.
Ranges shown for male, age 38.
The main hormone your thyroid releases, in the unbound form your tissues can take up.
No agreed tighter range
Inside the lab reference range.
Next:Nothing needs doing today. Your retest in twelve weeks shows whether it moves.
Lab range under 3 mmol/LWe look for under 3 mmol/LESC/EAS 2019 dyslipidaemia guideline, low-risk goal
Where we look for it.
Lab range over 1 mmol/LWe look for 1 to 2.4 mmol/LMadsen 2017 Copenhagen cohorts with the NHS low-HDL threshold
Where we look for it.
Lab range under 2.3 mmol/LWe look for under 2 mmol/LEAS and EFLM non-fasting lipid consensus
Where we look for it.
Lab range under 5 mmol/LWe look for under 5 mmol/LNHS and HEART UK healthy level
Where we look for it.
Lab range under 6 ratioConvention under 4 ratio, not a guidelineHEART UK convention; the ratio is the lipid input to QRISK3
A convention rather than a guideline figure, and it improves with a rise in HDL that carries no proven benefit. Stated in prose, never drawn as a band.
Inside the lab reference range.
Lab range under 4 mmol/LWe look for under 3.4 mmol/LESC/EAS 2019 dyslipidaemia guideline, moderate-risk goal
Where we look for it.
Lab range 3.1 to 6.8 pmol/LNo agreed tighter range
There is no agreed research range for free T3 beyond the laboratory's. The best outcome study did not examine it, and UK laboratory intervals disagree with each other.
Inside the lab reference range.
Lab range 0.3 to 4.2 mIU/LWe look for 1.5 to 3.5 mIU/LXu 2023 Lancet Diabetes Endocrinol individual-participant meta-analysis
Where we look for it.
Lab range 2.5 to 7.8 mmol/LNo agreed tighter range
There is no agreed research range for urea beyond the laboratory's. It moves with protein intake and hydration before it moves with kidney function.
Inside the lab reference range.
Lab range 59 to 104 umol/LNo agreed tighter range
There is no agreed research range for creatinine beyond the laboratory's, and the laboratory's is sex-split because it reflects muscle mass as much as filtration. The interpretable number is eGFR.
Inside the lab reference range.
Lab range over 90 mL/min/1.73m²No agreed tighter range
Inside the lab reference range.
Lab range 35 to 50 g/LNo agreed tighter range
There is no agreed research range for albumin beyond the laboratory's. It falls with inflammation and rises with dehydration, so a high-normal figure would reward a dry sample.
Inside the lab reference range.
Lab range 60 to 80 g/LNo agreed tighter range
There is no agreed research range for total protein beyond the laboratory's. A normal total can sit on top of a low albumin and a high globulin, so it is read alongside albumin.
Inside the lab reference range.
Lab range 30 to 130 U/LNo agreed tighter range
There is no agreed research range for alkaline phosphatase beyond the laboratory's. It mixes liver and bone forms, and it rises after the menopause and in pregnancy.
Inside the lab reference range.
Lab range 7 to 56 U/LWe look for under 33 U/LACG 2017 abnormal liver chemistries guideline, with Prati 2002
Where we look for it.
Next:For the markers above: nothing needs doing today. Your retest in twelve weeks shows whether they move.
This is your lab result and general information about each marker. It is not a diagnosis and it is not medical advice. One blood test is a snapshot of one day. If a result worries you, or you have symptoms, speak to your GP.
Reference ranges in this example come from static demonstration data and published UK reference intervals. Your own laboratory’s ranges may differ. This sample cannot interpret a result from another test.
