Where can I find out the normal range of blood test results?

Does anyone know of a website where I can find the normal range of various blood tests I've had done at the recurrent miscarriage clinic? Not all the results are in yet, but I've had results for anti-thrombin, protein C, Protien S, APC ratio. I haven't got a follow up appointment with the consultant for another couple of months but got the results while I was at the hospital having a pregnancy test following an ERPC. I've been told they're all normal but would be interested to see where they are on the spectrum of normality if that makes sense.

Thanks!

Google it.....

Obviously I have tried googling it. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find anything giving me the normal ranges.

A while ago someone linked to a site giving exactly that information for hormone tests so I thought I'd ask here as there are so many people with masses of experience in this area.

Don't take them as anything other than
Normal if you've been told normal... That way lies madness and worry ... I speak from experience.

I understand what you're saying Hairylights, but I was told this by the same doctor who scanned me and told me that I had no retained products when I actually had loads and so I have very little faith in him or anything he says. You're right though, self diagnosis is a dangerous thing. Maybe I should just leave it.

Look on pubmed which is the database of scientific papers. You can read a summary of each and sometimes the whole thing. If you want a full paper that you can't get, search for the same paper (authors / title) in goggle scholar (not regular google) - sometimes you can get it free.

Hope that helps.
