There are factors, independent of illness, that affect the interpretation of reported concentrations of serum constituents. These include normal ranges and how they are determined, the influence of intraindividual and interindividual biological variability, and the analytical variability in the clinical laboratory. There are factors that may affect the concentration of some of the most commonly measured serum constituents; these should be considered when the marginally abnormal result is examined.
存在一些与疾病无关的因素，会影响对所报告的血清成分浓度的解读。这些因素包括正常范围及其确定方式、个体内和个体间生物变异性的影响，以及临床实验室的分析变异性。有些因素可能会影响一些最常检测的血清成分的浓度；在检查临界异常结果时应考虑这些因素。
