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

- Collection
- Necessary Information: Patient's date of birth is required to calculate iron index. 1. Two mg of liver tissue is required. This is typically a piece of tissue from a 22-gauge needle biopsy at least 2 cm long. If an 18-gauge needle is used, the tissue must be at least 1 cm in length. 2. Any specimen vial other than a Mayo metal-free vial used should be plastic, leached with 10% nitric acid for 2 days, rinsed with redistilled water, and dried in clean air. Additional Information: Paraffin blocks will be returned 3 days after analysis is complete. Cautions: Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded tissue can be used when histologic examination (including iron stains) is requested in addition to the hepatic iron concentration and calculated hepatic iron index; however, fresh or frozen tissue is preferred. Paraffin blocks from which many slides have been previously cut often appear to contain sufficient quantity of tissue, however, the specimen is often very thin and less than 2 mg in weight.

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.
