Biomarker Lens

Public reference · Biomarkers and lab tests

Every biomarker, with its sources.

What a biomarker measures, which laboratory tests cover it, the reference ranges laboratories publish, and where each of those facts comes from. Readable pages, nothing hidden behind a login.

How to read a page

Four things on every page, in the same order.

  1. 01

    What it measures

    The biomarker's name, the names laboratories also list it under, its unit and its standard codes.

  2. 02

    Which tests cover it

    Laboratory tests that measure it, with the specimen, preparation and codes each laboratory publishes.

  3. 03

    Reference ranges, with their publisher

    Ranges are shown as the laboratory published them, for the population they name. There is no single normal range, so we never show one.

  4. 04

    The source under every fact

    Each fact names where it came from. If we cannot name the source, the fact is not on the page.

Sources

Where the facts come from.

The pages are rendered from a knowledge graph built from laboratory test catalogs, standard code systems such as LOINC, registered trials and published research. Every relationship in the graph carries the record it came from, and the page shows it. The first laboratory catalog in the graph is Quest Diagnostics; more laboratories and regions follow.

The graph behind these pages is Analyte Atlas, which offers the same data to products and teams as an API.

What we do not do

Interpret your result.

These pages describe biomarkers and tests in general. They cannot tell you what your value means, because that depends on you, your history and the laboratory that ran the test. Talk to a clinician about your own numbers.

If you want your own results explained next to these references, that is what Aumnivida is for: a private health record that reads the same graph.

Get early access.

One email when new laboratories, regions and features land, and a chance to test things before they are public. If you read your own lab reports closely, we would like to hear what you need.
