Might be under 'reference ranges'/index values or something? But I don't know of a website - labtests online maybe?
Best,

Hi Liz,
There would be standard reference values in the Merck Manual and other similar sources eg. https://www.msdmanuals.com/en-gb/professional/resources/normal-laboratory-values/blood-tests-normal-values
This table gives the Normal Laboratory Values in blood, plasma, and serum.
Kind regards,
Jill

Subject: Search help
Hi all,
I’ve been given this search and I’m not having much luck. I have asked haematology colleagues but have had no response. Would anyone have any idea where this information might be found?
Thank you.
I’m working on a blood test form with a set of fields capturing blood test data electronically, and I’m trying to discover what are the extreme upper and lower bounds of the various fields (EG a person couldn’t have XYZ amount of cholesterol because it’d not be physically possible to hold that much in the body) in order to alert users to possible data entry errors to reduce possible clinical error/harm.
The fields and measurement types are provided below, unless measurement type is not specified in the design’, then are marked ‘blank’ (advice on the measurement types for blank would be appreciated as well):
Urea and Electrolytes
Sodium (mmol/L)
Potassium (mmol/L)
Urea (mmol/L)
Creatinine (mmol/L)
Liver Function Tests:
Total Protein (g/L)
Albumin (g/L)
Globulin (g/L)
Alkaline Phosphatase (blank)
Total Biliruben (umol/L)
ALT (u/L)
Glucose Tests:
Fasting Plasma Glucose (mmol/L)
HBA 1C (IFCC-Aligned) (mmol/L)
HBA 1C (DCCT-Aligned) (%)
Glucose Plasma (mmol/L)
Cholesterol Tests:
Cholesterol (blank)
Triglcerides (mmol/L)
HDL Cholesterol (mmol/L)
LDL Cholesterol (mmol/L)
Total Cholesterol:HDL Ratio (blank)

Subject: Happy new year from UHMLG
Happy New Year from UHMLG...
Don't forget to book<https://www.uhmlg.org/2020-spring-forum/> your ticket for the UHMLG Spring Forum on Friday 3rd April 2020.
It will be held at the fantastic venue of the Royal Society of Medicine in London.
We have a great line of speakers talking all about getting involved with creating and supporting systematic reviews:
* Cochrane Crowdsourcing Challenge - Anna Noel-Storr (Information Specialist for the Cochrane Dementia and Cognitive Improvement Group, Oxford University)
How citizen science can assist the management of information overload in identifying evidence for Cochrane systematic reviews.
* Measuring the systematic reviews support provided by Librarians/Information Specialists at other Higher Education institutions - Andra Fry and Kevin Wilson (LSE Library, London School of Economics)
Increased demand to develop a formalised systematic review service at the LSE led to them investigating the picture across the HE landscape. The speakers will share their results and implications for future practice.
* A review of the LSHTM Systematic Reviews - Jane Falconer (London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine)
How the review of systematic review processing at the LSHTM led to the transformation of the service and development of new practices in undertaking and supporting systematic reviews across the institution.
* Improving information support processes for systematic reviews at NICE - Lynda Ayiku and Paul Levay (Information Specialists, NICE)
This presentation will show how NICE supports systematic reviews through developing filters, screening and text mining to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of searches.
* Shifting sands: maintaining library support for evidence syntheses at Bodleian Health Care Libraries - Nia Wyn Roberts (Bodleian Health Care Libraries)
This talk will outline the different service models used by the library in supporting systematic reviews and how they changed to an outreach model embedded within the university research groups. It will also provide an overview of the training programmes developed for both researchers and library staff.
* Tips and tricks of the trade - sharing and remembering (nearly) everything about systematic review searching - Judy Wright (University of Leeds)
"What year did Web of Science - SCI begin?", "How do I report a search from ClinicalTrials.gov?", "What's the latest guidance on rapid reviews searches?", "Have we done searches for overviews of systematic reviews before and what did we call the strategies"? - just some questions that might come up when undertaking new systematic reviews.
Judy will provide practice tips of how to share and manage the knowledge of all things related to systematic review searching and show how an internal Wiki can help.
* The Development of a Systematic Review Support Service at Cardiff - Delyth Morris (Medical Subject Librarian, Cardiff University)
Delyth will share outcomes of a year long project at Cardiff. The library have been investigating how to deliver consistent support for systematic reviews and potentially making it income-generating as part of a core service.
