Decoding KDL Lab Results Online: How to Read Your Report

KDL results arrive as a table of markers with a norm column, but without explanation: the lab measures, while the meaning ("normal or not, what to do") is left to you and your doctor. Let's break down how to read a KDL report yourself — where to get it, how to read the table and what deviations mean.

Where to Get KDL Results

Completed KDL results are available:

• in the personal account on kdl.ru and the mobile app — you can view and download a PDF, and see marker trends;
• by email provided at ordering;
• on paper at the medical office.

For an online review, the PDF from your personal account is the most convenient — it has all markers, units and reference ranges in their original form.

How to Read a KDL Report

Each test lists the name, your result, units and the reference range (the norm for sex/age). Compare your result with this range from your own KDL report: because of different methods, norms differ slightly between labs, and values from another report or "from the internet" can mislead.

What Deviations Mean

"Out of range" does not equal "disease". The range covers 95% of healthy people, so small deviations also occur in the norm. Three things matter: which marker it is, how far it deviates and what the related markers show. For example, TSH is interpreted with free T4, and ALT with AST and bilirubin. A single result is less informative than a trend.

Common KDL Tests

• CBC and differential — complete blood count;
• biochemistry (ALT, glucose, cholesterol);
• hormones, vitamins, infections, tumour markers.

The general reading logic is in how to read a blood test.

Preparation

Some "deviations" stem from poor preparation (food, exercise, time of day). The rules are in preparing for a blood test. For a doubtful result, repeating it is reasonable.

When a Doctor Is Needed

See a doctor urgently for significant deviations with symptoms, critical values, and out-of-range tumour markers and coagulation tests. Self-review helps you understand the report; the diagnosis is the doctor's.

To understand your KDL results in plain language, upload the report (PDF or photo) to the lab results interpretation service: the AI will explain each marker against its reference ranges. For other labs, see Invitro and Gemotest.
