The version of this that has an answer is narrower than the version being asked.

No disagreement, though it depends on where somebody is starting from, and this thread has been assuming a starting point nobody stated.

Right, and one flattering data point from a group buy is not consistency.

This is exactly what I could not find anywhere else. Taking it to my next appointment.

I read this differently from newstart_MO, on substance rather than tone. I think the framing smuggles in the conclusion. Ask it the other way round and the obvious answer reverses, which usually means the question is doing the work.

One concrete data point for the thread. Worth stating the units and the reference range whenever you post a number here. A large fraction of the apparent disagreement in these threads is two people using different units and both being right.

Moderator note: good thread. Keeping it here rather than moving it, because the question is general enough to be useful.
