| Abstract: | The central role of the laboratory scientist is to aid the clinician, in interpreting observed values, by providing relevant
reference values in a convenient and practical form. In India, reference values used in laboratories have been established
in the western population. But these can be questioned due to differences in genetic load, lifestyle, and diet. This review
highlights the approach for establishing reference values in our population using the IFCC guidelines and our observations
from our data as compared to the reported values in our laboratory. |
