The following is a table of reference values for adults forlaboratory tests commonly ordered at the Massachusetts GeneralHospital (MGH) and recorded in the Case Records. The table revisesthe most recently published data (Normal Reference LaboratoryValues. N Engl J Med 1998;339:1063-72). Laboratory values areexpressed in the units used at the MGH and the units of theSystème International d'Unités (SI units). Thetable is not intended to provide a comprehensive review of referencevalues, since this information is widely available in standardtextbooks. To avoid suggesting an endorsement of commercialproducts by the hospital or the . . . [Full Text of this Article]
