Diana Dyer, MS, RD - Frequently Asked Questions

I am interested in learning more about my blood work — results and indications. Can you recommend a website or relatively user friendly book that would explain the particular tests, results and what that means?

What a good question! Here is a web site with lots of great reliable information that you will find helpful. http://www.labtestsonline.org/understanding/index.html

All of your health care professionals will also be able to discuss your laboratory values with you for even further information.
