Hi Lauren. Different labs can have their own parameters for testing. For example, my local lab lists
neutrophil range as 1.6 - 7.5
On my Mayo labs, it is 1.56 - 6.45

Platelets Local lab: 150 - 400 Thou/uL
Platelets Mayo: 157 - 371 Thou/uL

Your blood results will be based on the calibration of testing at the lab where taken. If it helps to understand a little more, the context of lab test results, “normal” does not mean usual, typical, or ordinary. Instead, “normal” refers to how these values line up on a graph and form a range. The word “normal” here means a “normal distribution”, or set, of lab values.
So try not to read too much into your blood tests. Single tests don’t always give the entire picture and all of the numbers have to be taken into account and into context. I hope this helps…and there are no dumb questions. ☺️ That’s how we learn, by questioning.

Normal is a relative term. Best to talk w/your doc. Some sites drop the 3 zeros and show “10-3”. It’s just a math code.
