Fixed from previous version
  1. References added where missing in the main article Reference ranges for blood tests
  2. Clarified that the total protein is total plasma protein, while hemoglobin is inside erythrocytes
  3. By using the .png version of the file instead of the .svg, the resolution is much better

Otherwise, for minor edits and adjustments, we should put them on the Edits needed-list and update when long enough. It will be updated now and then, e.g. as new studies arise. So let's decide now whether it's featured or not.

Really? I can see it, at the bottom at the far right. Perhaps just wait for a while, or go to its page at the commons. Mikael Häggström (talk) 12:54, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry about that. I'll try to avoid it in the future. This could be copied to a "Blood values 2", and then reverted to before the copy to "Previous versions", but perhaps it would just mix it up a second time, now that the monthly archive is adapted to it.

  • Comment Carcinoembryonic antigen is the only item I can spot without ref. I'm poor at finding medical sources, but PMID 17926198 (which might not be applicable since it is a research paper) says 0.5-1.7ug/l. Otherwise the picture is good Narayanese (talk) 19:39, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for noticing! I've referenced the article and put it on the list for the next image update. Mikael Häggström (talk) 20:17, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
We tried that, but unfortunately, we didn't find any way of making it appear with the same high resolution. See Previous_versions. Still, this png one is directly derived from the svg. Mikael Häggström (talk) 06:14, 8 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There, CEA updated, and colour of bilirubin changed. Mikael Häggström (talk) 06:48, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There is a gap (stitching error?) at transferrin's background. Narayanese (talk) 18:05, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't find jaggies on it. Where do you see any? The image was created by viewing the svg-file in Firefox, making screen shots and pasting them together (Inkscape's "export as bitmap" gave bad results). Mikael Häggström (talk) 16:20, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Is there a reason for using dL on one of the scales? I know it's a perfectly valid unit, but I've never seen it anywhere else before. If it's a standard unit for blood test results though, that's fine. Time3000 (talk) 17:17, 10 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
