The Existing Interim Consensus Reference Ranges and the Future Approach

The release of the reference material for serum proteins, CRM 470/RPPHS, in 1993, has given rise to a great improvement in the between-laboratory variability of serum protein measurements worldwide. However, conversion to the new reference material has resulted in significant changes in reference values for some proteins. The establishment of new reference ranges is currently in progress; in the interim, several professional societies and diagnostic companies have agreed to use consensus reference ranges based on studies that were already undertaken.
