Understanding Your Tests

Plain-language explanations of common laboratory tests and what your results mean.

Laboratory testing is a powerful tool your clinician uses to understand your health. This guide explains the most common tests Chemisys performs, what they measure, and how to read your results alongside your care team.

What your results mean

Most results are reported with a reference range — the values typically seen in a healthy population. A result outside that range doesn't always mean something is wrong; your clinician considers your history, symptoms, and other results before making a decision.

Common test categories

  • Blood chemistry — organ function, metabolic health, and nutritional status.
  • Toxicology — medication monitoring and substance testing in support of a treatment plan.
  • Molecular diagnostics — DNA- and RNA-based testing for infections and genetic conditions.
  • Women's health — screening and diagnostic tests specific to women's wellness.

Talk with your clinician

Questions about what a specific result means? Always start with the clinician who ordered the test — they know your full medical picture. Chemisys supports your care team with accurate results and clinical interpretation when they need it.
