Oppose for now References would be nice. The upper value for C-reactive protein looks too low. Lighter colours would be a plus, atm the text is hard to read on purple and blue labels. Narayanese (talk) 09:28, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I've made some colors a brighter. This is the new version. I may just as well promote the svg version, since it will likely be edited many many times.Mikael Häggström (talk) 20:31, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Colours look good now. There are a few references left (at least D-dimer and haemoglobin). I suggest using a permanent version of the wikipedia page as ref list (i.e. link with oldid). Narayanese (talk) 07:24, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - I think it's a good idea with permanent link as reference, if we provide the external references for the article. Mikael Häggström (talk) 07:35, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Brighter and some values corrected - Reference ranges for some major blood tests, sorted by mass.

Does anybody know by the way how to avoid having it appear so blurry as I see it on my computer? In Inkscape it appears completely sharp. Mikael Häggström (talk) 20:31, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know, but unless it's fixed, it severely detracts from enc. Spencer^T♦^C 21:05, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Probably it's unfixable, since it's the Firefox plugin that makes it razor sharp when clicking on it, but the not-so-perfect WikiMedia plugin that shows the image in the article. So I suggest it is a derived .png version of the image which should be exhibited on the article, as well as being nominated as featured image. However, before deriving that .png image we have to make sure everything else is fixed in the original .svg version. So first we need to fill Image:Reference ranges for blood tests - by mass.svg#Edits needed as much as we can for the moment, avoiding having to upload and derive a .png file several times.

Question: From the graph, I get the impression that blood is approx. 70% protein by weight (700 grams/liter). This conflicts with the article blood, which states Plasma, which comprises 55% of blood fluid, is mostly water (90% by volume) - this just doesn't make sense; if blood contains 49.5 % water, plus 70% protein, that sums to 119.5% in all... Sure, blood is thicker than water, but not that thick! ;-) --Janke | Talk 17:06, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Sorry for that mistake. They were 10 times too large. It's corrected now.Mikael Häggström (talk) 20:31, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Question: I see the ref in the article, but I'm not sure about the maxiumum range for Ferritin. The article on Ferritin say the max range for males is 300 supported by this link. In addition the same link says 12 is the min range. Spencer^T♦^C 00:25, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment It's adapted to that additional reference. Feel free to add more to the main article if you come across other ones. Mikael Häggström (talk) 20:31, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - You may want to fade the Ferritin from 12 to at least 25 for men and 12-15 for women because I'm getting different sources, too (My med book). Spencer^T♦^C 21:03, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Otherwise, this is pretty decent and informative. Support. Spencer^T♦^C 21:03, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose at least until we can be sure everything is correct here. The total protein content still doesn't make sense. Hemoglobin is defined as a protein in its own article, so how can there be more of that than total protein? --Janke | Talk 22:04, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment It think it's because total protein is actually the total plasma protein, while hemoglobin is present inside the red blood cells. I agree it should be noted. Better make a list of things needed to be edited for the next update. Mikael Häggström (talk) 05:57, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
