Your lab results arrive and you see numbers, abbreviations, and maybe some "H" or "L" flags. What does it all mean?

📊 Reference Ranges: These "normal" ranges are based on healthy population averages, but what's normal for you might be slightly different based on age, s*x, and health history.
🚩 Flags: "H" means high, "L" means low, and "*" indicates a critical value needing immediate attention.
🔬 Context is Key: A single abnormal result doesn't always mean something is wrong. Your doctor considers your complete health picture, symptoms, and trends over time.

That's why we always recommend discussing results with your healthcare provider. They can explain what your specific numbers mean for YOUR health journey.

Have questions about your results? Your provider is your best resource, and our team is here to support accurate, quality testing every step of the way.

Each specimen is handled with the highest level of precision and care to ensure reliable outcomes.

Our highly trained laboratory professionals and board-certified medical laboratory technologists/scientists work diligently behind the scenes to deliver accurate, timely results you and your provider can trust—because every result matters.

At Interpath Laboratory, this commitment to quality is the foundation of everything we do.

Spring has arrived in the Pacific Northwest, and so have the sniffles! But before you assume it's allergies, here's something to consider: up to 50% of people with allergy-like symptoms actually have non-allergic rhinitis.

Allergy testing can help identify specific triggers like:
🌳 Tree pollen (hello, Pacific Northwest cedars!)
🌾 Grass pollen
🏠 Dust mites
🐾 Pet dander

Knowing your specific triggers helps you and your doctor develop an effective treatment plan, rather than guessing which over-the-counter medication might work.

Ask your provider about allergy testing or visit InterpathDirect.com to order labs direct to you today!
