Blood Testing

Here are the results of my recent blood tests - Complete Blood Count, Metabolic Panel, Liver Tests, and Lipids Panel.

The range of normal readings are shown for each blood parameter, along with the midpoint. My personal results are aligned according to whether they are lower or higher than the midpoint, to make the readings more understandable. The units are shown for each parameter.
