Abstract
The central role of the laboratory scientist is to aid the clinician, in interpreting observed values, by providing relevant reference values in a convenient and practical form. In India, reference values used in laboratories have been established in the western population. But these can be questioned due to differences in genetic load, lifestyle, and diet. This review highlights the approach for establishing reference values in our population using the IFCC guidelines and our observations from our data as compared to the reported values in our laboratory.Keywords: Hypercholesterolemia; Reference limits; Reference values
