Abstract:

Reference change values (RCV) are the random variations of 2 test results of the total. Through the evaluation on the statistical significance of individual difference of continuous test results, the clinical monitoring of patients' test results can be performed. Medical laboratory technicians should establish reference change values correctly on the basis of full understanding of theory and guide the clinical application.

Key words: Reference change value, Within-subject biological variation, Test result
