What tests are included in my lab report?
|
Your lab report includes all diagnostic tests ordered by your physician. However, certain test results can only be obtained by communicating with your healthcare provider even in the result is normal
These tests include the following:
- Genetic tests, cardiology tests, and pathology tests
- Tests controlled by regulatory requirements
- Tests sent to government lab for analysis
- Tests required to be reported directly to your physician
If you have questions about any of the results in your lab report, please consult your physician or healthcare provider. They can discuss your concerns with you and provide perspective based on your health status.
|
Some of my tests are out of range. What should I do?
|
Please note that the ranges shown in this report are merely guidelines. Healthy people may sometimes fall outside the expected ranges. The expected ranges, and your results, are not meant to provide a diagnosis. We encourage you to discuss your results with your physician or healthcare provider.
If you have questions about any of the results in your lab report, please consult your physician or healthcare provider. They can discuss your concerns with you and provide perspective based on your health status.
|
What does "expected range" mean?
|
The expected range for a given test is generally based on the results for 95% of the healthy population. This means 1 out of every 20 healthy people will have results outside the "expected range". Sometimes patients whose test results are outside the reference range may be healthy, and some patients whose test results are within the reference range may have a health concern. Please consult your physician or healthcare provider if you have questions about your lab results.

Why are some tests in my lab report still listed as "Pending"?

"Pending" means that your test results are not ready to be released to Dynacare Plus. Some tests take more time than others to analyze. In some cases, it can take several weeks to analyze, while in other cases it can take less than 24 hours. You can look up the specific turnaround time for your test to be analyzed at Dynacare.ca/find-a-test.
Food Intolerance Reports ordered by your Naturopath Physician would be reported on Dynacare Plus after 14 days from the time the results are finalized. Please contact your Naturopath Physician if you need the report before the 14 days.
Please note that you will be notified by email when the results of your pending tests become available on Dynacare Plus.
|
Why are there different reporting formats for my lab results?
|
When you click to a test detail page you might see a lot of information or you might see very little information. Currently there are approximately 300 tests that have "more" information compared to the rest of the tests. These 300 were chosen to have more information as they are considered "common" tests. Eventually the less common tests will have similar amounts of information as content gets updated over time.
|
How do I navigate to view my results graphically, and/or track my result trends for a particular test?
|
When looking at the Detail View of a specific test, you have 2 options
- Single: You can click on the Single View option to see only the most current results of a specific lab test
- Trend: You can click on the Trend View option to see the results of a specific lab test over time; this allows you to spot any trends in your results

|
Why do I see some tests with status "Cancelled"?
|
In some cases, particularly in Quebec, our staff may have entered your order as a panel that could include some tests not actually on your request form in order to give you the best pricing possible; in these cases, our staff would have canceled the tests in the panel that weren't on your request form. In other cases, your healthcare provider may have asked Dynacare to cancel certain tests that were on your lab request form.
|
Why do I see more than one reference range in the trend view for a single test?
|
Reference ranges are specific to the facility performing the test. It is possible that your test may have been performed at different facilities over time, each with different reference ranges.
