SI UNIT
Two classes of units:
(1) Base units
(2) Derived units:
Coherent units - derived directly from the
base units
without using conversion
factors
Noncoherent units - constructed from the
base units
and contain a
numerical factor
to make the numbers
more

SI UNIT
However, some conventional units are still used until now, eg:
Enzyme units
conventional U/L
coherent SI unit katal (for catalytic activity, incl. enzymes)
Katal : the number of moles of substrate converted per
second under defined conditions

REFERENCE INTERVALS
Test results
Normal values = disease-free?
Abnormal test results = diseased?

REFERENCE INTERVALS
Random variability
What accounts for the spread of a reference interval:
1. Analytical variability
imprecision
2. Biological variability
- intra-individuals -> biological changes over time,
(eg: kortisol, vitamin D), food intake, exercise
- inter-individuals -> age, sex, disease

REFERENCE INTERVALS
Tests yield a continuum of results and some overlap of values
between individuals with and without disease.
In the overlap area, the tests cant discriminate disease from
no disease migh cause false results

REFERENCE INTERVALS
False positive -> inapproppriate admission/ therapy
False negative -> undertreatment, transmission of infection,
death
