Lab Portal
Read your results screen step by step.
Each row shows the value, unit and reference range; out-of-range values are flagged. A flag means "look closer", not "you are sick".
- Sign in to your patient portal (such as MyChart) and open Test Results.
- Find the value, unit and reference range on each row.
- Note any H (high) or L (low) flags.
- Compare with earlier results of the same test; the trend matters more than one value.
- Bring your notes to your clinician, or message them through the portal.
| Flag | Meaning |
|---|---|
| H / High / ↑ | Above the reference range |
| L / Low / ↓ | Below the reference range |
| Critical / ! | Past the lab's urgent threshold; contact your clinician right away |
