This quick guide will help you understand important health indicators. Knowing these levels can help you proactively manage your health. Be sure to get a health test regularly to stay informed.

IMPORTANT MEDICAL DISCLAIMER:
The information provided in this video, including the reference ranges for health indicators, is for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not intended as medical advice and should not be used as a substitute for professional medical diagnosis, advice, or treatment.

PLEASE NOTE:
1. Reference Ranges Vary: The values mentioned are general examples. Actual reference ranges can differ significantly between laboratories based on the equipment, chemicals, and specific populations they use to establish their "normal" ranges. Always rely on the specific reference range printed on your own lab report.
2. Individual Context is Key: A "normal" test result does not automatically mean "optimal" for you. Interpreting any lab value requires a healthcare professional to consider your individual factors, such as age, medical history, symptoms, and other test results. A value within the normal range for one person might be a sign of an issue for another.
3. These Are Not Diagnostic Tools: Do not use this information to self-diagnose or to change or stop any medical treatment. Always consult with a qualified physician or healthcare provider to understand what your results mean for your specific health situation.
4. Nuances of the Data:
• ALT (Liver Enzyme): Current guidelines suggest the upper limit of normal may be lower for optimal health, especially for women.
• Creatinine (Kidney Function): This value is highly dependent on muscle mass. Doctors often use the eGFR calculation for a more accurate assessment of kidney function.
• TSH (Thyroid): While 0.4-4.0 is the standard range, the ideal "optimal" range, especially for treated patients, is often considered to be much narrower.
• Vitamin A: Blood serum levels are a poor indicator of the body's total stores and can be misleading for both deficiency and toxicity.
• Folate: Red Blood Cell (RBC) folate is often a better marker of long-term status than serum folate.

In summary: Use this video as a starting point for a conversation with your doctor, not as its conclusion. Your health is individual—its management should be too.

Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition.
