referenciaintervallumként

The term "referenciaintervallumként" is a Hungarian compound word that translates to "as a reference interval" or "as a reference range" in English. It is commonly used in medical and scientific contexts, particularly in laboratory medicine and clinical diagnostics.

A reference interval, or reference range, is a set of values that are used to interpret a laboratory test result. It is determined by measuring the values of a particular substance or characteristic in a large group of healthy individuals who are considered representative of the population for whom the test is intended. The results from this healthy group are then used to establish a range of typical values.

When a patient's test result is obtained, it is compared to this reference interval. If the patient's value falls within the reference interval, it is generally considered to be within the normal range for that particular test. If the patient's value falls outside the reference interval, it may indicate a potential health issue that warrants further investigation by a healthcare professional.

It is important to note that reference intervals can vary slightly between different laboratories due to differences in testing methods, equipment, and the populations studied. Therefore, test results should always be interpreted in conjunction with the specific reference interval provided by the laboratory that performed the test and in the context of the individual patient's clinical presentation. The term "referenciaintervallumként" emphasizes the role of these established ranges in the interpretation of diagnostic data.
