Here are some general steps to follow when reading blood test results:
1. Look at the name of the test(s) and the date it was completed and printed.
2. Check if the actual test results are within the normal range for results.
3. Look for any flagged results that are outside of the normal range.
4. Check if there are any comments or notes from the lab or doctor who ordered the test.
It's important to note that all blood tests must include certain basic elements including your name and health ID, names of the test(s), lab and doctor who ordered the test, actual test results, normal range for results, flagged results (if any), and comments or notes from the lab or doctor who ordered the test.
