Reference interval

Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-010067

The interval between two reference limits, which are derived from a reference population and used for interpreting a set of observed values. This range represents the expected values for a particular analyte in a healthy population. For example, a common reference interval for fasting blood glucose is 70 to 99 mg/dL.
