Can you interpret my health screening report?

Health Screening Report Interpretation

I cannot interpret your specific health screening report without seeing the actual document and its results.

What I Need to Help You

To provide a meaningful interpretation, please share:

• Your complete laboratory values (e.g., hemoglobin, glucose, cholesterol, liver enzymes, kidney function, electrolytes) 1
• Vital signs including blood pressure measurements 1
• Any imaging results if included 2
• Your age, sex, and relevant medical history 1
• Current medications and smoking status 1, 3
• The specific reason the screening was performed 1

Important Context for Screening Results

Blood Pressure Measurements

• Screening environment matters significantly: Blood pressure measured in non-clinical settings (supermarkets, health fairs) averages 17 mmHg higher systolic and 5 mmHg higher diastolic than office measurements, and 29 mmHg higher systolic than home measurements 4
• Home blood pressure monitoring by untrained operators produces readings averaging 5.8 mmHg higher systolic before proper technique education 5
• Regression to the mean causes elevated screening values to decline 7 mmHg on average upon remeasurement, with only 2 mmHg representing true change 6

General Screening Interpretation Principles

• Abnormal screening results require confirmation with repeat testing before initiating treatment, as false-positive rates are substantial in low-risk populations 1
• Clinical context determines test interpretation: The same laboratory value has different meanings depending on your symptoms, risk factors, and medical history 7
• Most screening abnormalities detected by routine laboratory panels in asymptomatic individuals are clinically insignificant and do not affect outcomes 1

Risk Stratification Requires Multiple Data Points

• Cardiovascular risk assessment needs age, sex, race, BMI, diabetes status, smoking history, cholesterol levels, and kidney function—not isolated values 1
• Nutritional screening requires weight trends, dietary intake assessment, and functional status—not just laboratory values 1

Next Steps

Upload or describe your specific screening results including:

1. All numerical values with their reference ranges
2. Any flagged abnormalities
3. Your demographic and clinical information listed above

Once you provide these details, I can give you a specific, actionable interpretation prioritizing your mortality, morbidity, and quality of life outcomes 8.
