How to check your blood test results
Quick answer: To check your blood test results, add your results, add your sex and age, read each result and take the questions to your doctor.
- Add your results. Copy the table from your report and paste it, drop the lab's PDF, or type the values you have.
- Add your sex and age. Several ranges differ for men and women, and age is needed to work out kidney function (eGFR).
- Read each result. Every test shows where your value sits, whether it's normal, borderline or out of range, and what that can mean.
- Take the questions to your doctor. Each result lists sensible questions to ask. Print or copy the summary to bring to your appointment.
What the colours and labels mean
Normal means within the usual adult range. Borderline means just outside it, or in an in-between category such as the prediabetes range. Low and High are further outside. A slightly abnormal result is very common and often means nothing on its own; patterns across several tests and over time matter more.
Which tests it understands
Complete blood count (hemoglobin, white cells, platelets, MCV and more), blood sugar and HbA1c, cholesterol and triglycerides, liver tests (ALT/SGPT, AST/SGOT, ALP, bilirubin, albumin), kidney tests (creatinine, urea, eGFR, uric acid), thyroid (TSH, T3, T4), electrolytes, iron studies, vitamin D and B12, CRP and ESR, and basic urine tests. It understands report spellings like Haemoglobin, TLC, SGPT and lakh/cumm, and converts mmol/L and µmol/L.
Important
This tool explains results in plain words; it can't diagnose anything. Your doctor reads them alongside your symptoms, history and medicines.
Frequently asked questions
Are my results uploaded or stored?
No. The report is read inside your browser, on your device. Nothing is sent to a server or saved after you close the page.
Why is my lab's normal range different?
Each lab sets ranges for its own machines and methods, so they vary a little. When your report prints a range, the checker shows it and uses it for most tests. For tests with standard medical cut-offs, such as HbA1c, cholesterol and vitamin D, it uses those cut-offs.
What if a result is flagged as far outside the range?
Some results, such as very high potassium or very low hemoglobin, can need prompt care. If the checker shows a red warning, contact a doctor or urgent care the same day, and call emergency services if you feel very unwell.
Can it read a photo or a scanned report?
Not yet: a scan is a picture with no text inside. Type the values into the Enter values tab instead, or ask your lab for the digital PDF.
Is this a diagnosis?
No. It explains what each number usually means so you can have a better conversation with your doctor. Only a doctor can interpret results with your full history.
