Ranges

Each lab publishes a reference range for the population groups it tests, usually the middle 95% of results. These intervals describe that population, not an optimal or healthy target. How ranges differ

    2 analytes · Serum · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 6 - 12 days

    Method and collection
    Method
    Blocking radioimmunoassy (RIA) after acid:alcohol extraction
    Collection
    Serum must be separated from cells within 45 minutes of venipuncture. Send serum in a plastic transport tube. Transfer specimen to a plastic transport tube before freezing. To avoid delays in turnaround time when requesting multiple tests on frozen specimens, please submit separate frozen specimens for each test requested.

Verify these ranges and sources

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
