Getting your lab report can sometimes feel overwhelming. All those numbers, abbreviations, and reference ranges can make it hard to know what’s normal — and what’s not.

At Lumina Diagnostic Laboratory, our goal is to make testing easy to understand. Each test measures something specific in your body — for example, blood sugar levels indicate how your body manages glucose, cholesterol reflects heart health, and liver enzymes show how well your liver is functioning.

If your report shows values outside the normal range, don’t panic. A single result doesn’t always mean something is wrong — factors like diet, stress, or medication can affect readings. Your doctor will interpret these results based on your medical history to give you a complete picture.

Tip: Always ask questions during your follow-up. Understanding your results empowers you to take control of your health and make informed choices.
