Real tests, and free maths
17 of these 70aren’t tests. They’re arithmetic on results you already paid for — no extra sample, no extra assay, no extra cost to the lab. Each one still adds a line to the advertised count.
This package is advertised as 77 tests. 24% of what we could resolve is calculated rather than measured.
Show the arithmetic›what each calculated value is worked out from
- Estimated Average Glucose= (28.7 × HbA1c) − 46.7
- Absolute Basophil Count= WBC count × Basophil %
- Absolute Eosinophil Count= WBC count × Eosinophil %
- Absolute Lymphocyte Count= WBC count × Lymphocyte %
- Absolute Monocyte Count= WBC count × Monocyte %
- Absolute Neutrophil Count= WBC count × Neutrophil %
- MCH= Hemoglobin ÷ RBC count
- MCHC= Hemoglobin ÷ Haematocrit
- Blood Urea Nitrogen= Blood Urea ÷ 2.14
- GFR Category= Banding of the eGFR value
- eGFR= CKD-EPI equation on creatinine, age and sex
- BUN / Creatinine Ratio= Blood Urea Nitrogen ÷ Creatinine
- Bilirubin Indirect= Total Bilirubin − Direct Bilirubin
- A/G Ratio= Albumin ÷ Globulin
- Globulin= Total Protein − Albumin
- Non-HDL Cholesterol= Total Cholesterol − HDL
- VLDL Cholesterol= Triglycerides ÷ 5
None of this means a calculated value is useless. eGFR is calculated and doctors act on it every day. The narrower point is the one that matters when you are comparing prices: these were not separately tested, so they should not be separately counted.
Every input above is itself on the same report. For example, Absolute Basophil Count needs nothing beyond WBC Count and Basophils, both already measured.
