What does 'Out of Range' mean for CBC results?

"Out of Range" indicates that a CBC test result falls outside the normal reference range for healthy individuals.

Reference Ranges: - Each CBC component (HGB, HCT, WBC, RBC, PLT) has established normal ranges - These ranges vary by age, sex, and sometimes ethnicity - Results are flagged as "High" (above range) or "Low" (below range)

What It Means: - Not Always Abnormal: Some healthy individuals naturally have values outside typical ranges - Context Matters: A single out-of-range result may not indicate disease - Trends Important: Changes over time are often more meaningful than single values

In CMMI-DCC: - Out-of-range results are highlighted in red in data tables - You can filter to show only out-of-range results - The "Status" column shows whether results are High, Low, or Normal

For detailed information about reference ranges, see the Help Center page on "Reference Range Status".
