In this same way, labs may choose to use different units of measurement for your test results. Your laboratory report may show different units of measurement than we have in Medical Tests Analyzer and the naming can be updated as well. Medical Tests Analyzer provides default values of reference ranges and units of measurement for each lab test procedure that produces quantitative results.
