Frequently Asked Questions

Is this result a diagnosis or treatment instruction?

No. It describes a calculation or score from the supplied information. A qualified clinician must check the measurements, the method’s applicability and the wider clinical picture.

Can I enter the units from any lab report?

Use the units specified in the form and select a conversion only where the page provides one. Different substances need different conversion factors; a mismatch can produce a plausible but incorrect result.
