Erman Akkus, Medical Oncology fellow at Ankara University, shared a recent article by Brody H. Foy on X:
“Personalized ranges for blood-test results at Nature.
Comparing blood test results to person’s own stable values, instead of average range in the population.
- Individual patient has a narrower stable range of lab values for years
This is person-specific. - Even small deviations from this are associated with death.
- Individualized setpoint may predict diseases and may assist clinical decisions.
