Listed more than onceA line in the lab's list that names a test already on the list. The advertised count goes up by one; you still get one result. We show the lab's own labels, exactly as printed, so you can check each one yourself.
2 lines of the advertised count come from 2 tests listed more than once.
- Same test, listed twiceTwo names for one test, or the same name printed twice. Often the test appears in two sections of the report, such as the lipid profile and a heart risk panel. It is one reading from one sample.+1 in the count
“Protein Total, Serum” and “Protein Total” are two names for Total Protein: one reading from one sample, so it counts once.

“Bilirubin (Total, Direct and Indirect)” and “Bilirubin Total” are two names for Bilirubin Total: one reading from one sample, so it counts once.

Real tests, and free maths
15 of these 70 aren’t tests. They’re arithmetic on results you already paid for. No extra sample, no extra assay, no extra cost to the lab. Each one still adds a line to the advertised count.
This package is advertised as 72 tests. 21% of what we could resolve is calculated rather than measured.
Show the arithmetic›what each calculated value is worked out from
- MCH= Hemoglobin ÷ RBC count
- MCHC= Hemoglobin ÷ Haematocrit
- Absolute Monocyte Count= WBC count × Monocyte %
- Absolute Eosinophil Count= WBC count × Eosinophil %
- Absolute Neutrophil Count= WBC count × Neutrophil %
- Absolute Basophil Count= WBC count × Basophil %
- VLDL Cholesterol= Triglycerides ÷ 5
- Cholesterol / HDL Ratio= Total Cholesterol ÷ HDL
- LDL / HDL Ratio= LDL ÷ HDL
- Non-HDL Cholesterol= Total Cholesterol − HDL
- A/G Ratio= Albumin ÷ Globulin
- Globulin= Total Protein − Albumin
- Bilirubin Indirect= Total Bilirubin − Direct Bilirubin
- Blood Urea Nitrogen= Blood Urea ÷ 2.14
- BUN / Creatinine Ratio= Blood Urea Nitrogen ÷ Creatinine
None of this means a calculated value is useless. eGFR is calculated and doctors act on it every day. The narrower point is the one that matters when you are comparing prices: these were not separately tested, so they should not be separately counted.
Every input above is itself on the same report. For example, MCH needs nothing beyond Hemoglobin and RBC Count, both already measured.
