LABORATORY REFERENCE RANGE VALUES

Reference range values are for apparently healthy people and often overlap significantly with values for those who are sick. Actual
values may vary significantly due to differences in assay methodologies and standardization. Institutions may also set up their own
reference ranges based on the particular populations that they serve, thus regional differences may occur. Consequently, values report-ed
by individual laboratories may differ from those listed in this appendix.
All values are given in conventional and SI units. However, cases where SI units have not been widely accepted, conventional units
are used. In case of the heterogenous nature of the materials measured or uncertainty about the exact molecular weight of the com-pounds,
SI measurements cannot be used so that mass per volume remains as the unit of concentration.

††Reference values vary from laboratory to laboratory, but are generally found within the range of 5–7 g/d. It should be noted that children, espe-cially
infants, cannot ingest the 100 g/d of fat that is suggested for the test. Therefore, a fat retention coefficient is determined by measuring the
difference between ingested fat and fecal fat, and expressing that difference as a percentage. The figure, called the fat retention coefficient, is
95% or greater in healthy children and adults. A low value indicates steatorrhea.

NOTE: The American College of Chest Physicians has recommended a therapeutic INR range for adults of 2.0–3.0, except in patients with mechani-cal
cardiac valves who should have an INR of 2.5–3.5. 1…target INR range of 2.6–3.8 for children with heart disease and a slightly lower range of
2.1–3.3 for treating children with established venous thrombosis. Clinicians at Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children used an INR range of 2.0–3.0
initially but later found that a lower target of 1.3–1.8 was as effective and resulted in no bleeding complications.

NOTE: The recommended therapeutic target for the treatment and prevention of venous thromboembolisms and pulmonary embolisms in an INR of
2.5 with a range between 2.0–3.0, and children with mechanical prosthetic heart valves have a recommended therapeutic INR range of 3.0 INR
range between 2.5–3.5. Evaluate at that time. http://www.warfarinfo.com/pediatrics.htm
