Understanding your Leptospira IgG & IgM Rapid results
How to read your result
Your report should be read using the reference interval, unit and method shown by the performing laboratory. A result outside a reference interval does not automatically establish a diagnosis, and a result inside the interval does not rule out every health problem. Clinical interpretation depends on symptoms, history and other findings.
If a result is outside the range
If the Leptospira IgG & IgM Rapid is reported as high, low, positive, negative or otherwise outside the laboratory's stated interval, the meaning depends on the specific test and the reason it was ordered. Your clinician may consider repeat testing, related investigations or other clinical information before deciding what the result means.
Limitations of this test
The Leptospira IgG & IgM Rapid provides information about the specific marker or finding it measures; it is not a complete assessment of overall health. Results can be affected by factors such as preparation, medicines, biological variation, sample handling and the testing method.
An abnormal result does not by itself mean you have a particular disease. Your doctor interprets results together with your symptoms, history and other tests.
