Tables of Normal Values

(As of November 2010) Note: Values and units of measurement listed in these tables are derived from several resources. Substantial variation exists in the ranges quoted as normal in various references and at different laboratories and may vary depending on the assay used to determine vales. Therefore these tables should be interpreted as directional only. Where possible Canadian sources are used, Globalrph.com was used to provide non SI unit conversions.
