About Blood Interpretation

What this site is

Blood Interpretation explains laboratory reports. Not markers one at a time — reports: how the columns work, what a flag is, what a panel says as a whole, and what it leaves open. The full report is the same explanation applied to your own document.

It is published by Smart Medical Care, a registered company named in the legal notice. The site explains panels rather than markers taken one at a time, because a single value read on its own is what most often sends someone to the wrong conclusion.

The team, and the company behind it

These pages are written and reviewed by Team Blood Interpretation, the editorial and medical team of the site. The site is published by Smart Medical Care, a registered company whose details appear in the legal notice. Accountability for everything here rests with that company, and it can be reached at the address published there.

The team works within rules set by the scientific and ethics committee: twelve independent doctors from twelve specialties, bound by a signed charter, who check the medical accuracy of what the site publishes and the limits it states.

How the pages are made

How a page is written, which sources it may cite, what medical review covers and how errors are corrected is set out in our editorial method.

Corrections are welcome and are made visibly: a corrected page carries a new review date.
