Consider:
• 
Artefact

• 
Reference
range,
eg, 
sex, 
age 
• 
Laboratory 
error, 
eg, 
analytical 
interference 
• 
Sampling 
error, 
eg, 
specimen
from
drip 
arm 
• 
Labelling 
error, 
ie, 
different 
patient 
• 
Incorrect 
sample
storage,
eg,
serum 
sitting 
on

Appropriate 
action:
Obtain 
a 
fresh 
sample
from
the 
patient 
and 
re-analyse 
Significant

Consider:

Biological

The 
implication 
is 
that 
a 
given 
value 
(x) 
has 
a
95%
chance 
of 
lying 
within 
the 
limits 
x 
±
2SD.
For
example,
a 
plasma 
[Na] 
of 
140 
mmol/L
with
an
error 
of
3
mmol/L 
has
a
value 
between 
13 
7 
and 
143 
mmol/L. 
For 
a 
significant 
increase 
to 
occur 
the 
value 
has 
to 
be 
147 
mmol/L 
(144-150 
mmol/L)
