Lab report explainer
A clearer explanation for the conversation ahead
Upload a laboratory report or type in the values. Check that every result was read correctly. Get a plain-language explanation of what each marker measures and what to ask your clinician.
No account. No saved history. Nothing kept after the session ends.
Your results explained
One marker from a sample report. Your own explanation is built the same way, from the range printed on your report.
Within range
4.2mmol/L
Above range
6.9mmol/L
Below range
12.1g/dL
No diagnosis, no treatment advice, and no overall health score. A result outside a range is not automatically a problem, and one inside is not automatically fine.
Two ways to start
What an explanation looks like
Potassium
Above the range on your report6.9 mmol/Lrange on your report: 3.5–5.1
Potassium is an electrolyte concentrated inside cells and is important for nerve and muscle function, including the heart. Laboratories treat markedly abnormal potassium results as needing prompt attention.
Questions to ask
- Should this be repeated on a fresh sample?
- Do any of my medicines affect potassium?
A difficult blood draw can release potassium from cells and raise the measured value, so an unexpected result is often repeated. Reference ranges differ between laboratories.
