Talk:Blood test
From Academic Kids
Should this be merged with Reference ranges for common blood tests? Karada 22:34, 8 Oct 2003 (UTC)
- Probably not. I intened (when I started) that Rrfcbt would just be like an appendix of a textbook or something. But you're right, there is a lot of overlap between this page, rrfcbt and the page components of blood. There's no rush to fix it though. :-D T 01:53, 16 Apr 2004 (UTC)
I think what's needed is a different organization, with a separate article for each test (or related group of tests), the article containing a description of the test, reference ranges, and some info on interpretation. Kind of organized like a Wiktionary article.
Something like:
Name -- Alternate names -- Common abbreviations -- How collected -- How processed -- What is being measured -- Reference range -- Basic interpretation & disease indications -- Related tests (links)
This is an area where there's a lack of a good, reliable internet resource, and Wiki could provide it.
