LAB TESTS, DEFINITIONS, "NORMAL" RANGES, ETC.


This section is dedicated to Larry Dunn, M.S., MT(ASCP)  He has helped me & many others to learn more about HH, particular in the interpretation of lab results.  He has a great ability to explain things in a way that is easier to understand!  In this section you will find emails, notes, &/or excerpts from my contact with Larry, which I think many will continue to find helpful.   Larry is a Medical Technologist as well as a a teacher of Medical Technology.  His wife has hemochromatosis.   You can read his HH "story" in my "patient stories" section of this HH website.
