blood test - best info source to interpret results

Ringsender2 · 24/05/2022 12:59

hi, just got my blood test results back from the docs and wondering if someone can recommend a good website to me to help interpret / contextualise the results?

All my results are in the range given, but I have read previously that lower ranges used by NHS etc. for things like Vit D or ferritin are often quite low compared to what people need to thrive (as opposed to just about avoiding official 'deficiency'!).

Any suggestions for a good website/blog/etc to consult would be much appreciated.

TIA

Labtestsonline.org.uk is quite Good at explaining what each test is for and what they look for - it doesn't include reference ranges though as it says these differ by test. I also find the ranges annoying as sometimes it can mean I'm in range and with other labs my results are way higher.
