Understand your blood test. Every number, read twice.

Pick a test to see what it checks. Then add a photo or PDF of your report and see which values are in range, what that usually means and what to ask your doctor.

Which test is on your report?

Oxygen carrier in your blood

Tiredness, anemia

Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. Fainting or trouble breathing needs urgent care, so don't wait for a result.

How do I read blood work test results?

Go row by row: the test name, your value, its unit and the range your lab printed beside it. A value outside that range is usually marked high or low. That mark isn't a diagnosis, because it can have many causes. Saluvo reads each row and explains it in plain words to take to your doctor.

Common tests

What does each blood test check?

A quick guide to common test names, what each one checks and when it's usually ordered. For your own result, go by the range printed on your report.

This is a general guide, not medical advice. Test names vary by lab and country, and it lists no normal ranges because they differ between labs. Only your doctor can say what a result means for you.

Why it exists

Your report arrives as a table of numbers, not an answer

It lists values, units and ranges, and little else. You can wait for your appointment, or look up one number at a time with no idea if the advice fits your lab. So we built the step between getting your report and speaking to your doctor.

  • 01

    See what stands out

    Each result is compared with the normal range printed on your report, not a generic chart, because ranges differ between labs.

  • 02

    Catch a misread digit

    Two AI models read every value. If they disagree, you see both numbers and choose the one on your report.

  • 03

    Walk in with questions

    Each report comes with specific questions to ask at your visit, which you can copy in one tap.

Every row read twice

Two different AI models copy every test row at the same time. Values they agree on are marked as checked. Where they differ, you see both numbers and choose.

See how a test moves over time

When the same test shows up in two or more reports, you see a small chart of how it moved and whether it went back into range.

How it works

  1. 1

    Add your report

    Take a clear photo of the page or upload the PDF from your lab. Keep the whole page in frame and the numbers sharp.

  2. 2

    Two AI models read it

    Two different models copy every test row at the same time. Values they agree on are marked as checked; any value they read differently is shown to you.

  3. 3

    You confirm what's unclear

    Where the readings differ, Saluvo shows both numbers and asks which one is on your report. The high, low or normal mark updates to match your answer.

  4. 4

    Read the summary and take it to your doctor

    You get a short plain-language overview, what each out-of-range value usually means, which doctor to see, and questions to ask them.

What a lab report explainer does

A lab report is a table of numbers, units and ranges that most of us were never taught to read. A lab report explainer turns that table into plain words: what was tested, which results sit outside the normal range, and what that usually means. It doesn't replace your doctor's reading. It helps you arrive at the appointment knowing what to ask.

Saluvo reads blood tests and common panels, such as thyroid, lipids, sugar and HbA1c, vitamins, liver and kidney tests.

How Saluvo reads your blood test results

Two readings, and you settle any disagreement

Misreading a single digit can turn a normal result into a worrying one. So Saluvo has two different AI models read your report at the same time. Where both read the same value, it's marked as checked. Where they disagree, you see both numbers and choose the one printed on your report. The high, low or normal mark is then worked out again from your answer.

High or low is worked out from your lab's range

Saluvo doesn't just trust the model's label. When a value and a printed range are both numbers, it compares them directly. If your report has no range for a test, it says so.

The explanation never repeats your numbers

The plain-language summary is written from the test names, units, ranges and flags only. Your exact values are shown from the table, next to the explanation, rather than being retyped in the summary.

What you get for each report

  • A 3 to 5 sentence summary of what looks fine and what needs attention.
  • A short note on what each out-of-range result usually means.
  • Which kind of doctor to see and how soon.
  • 3 to 5 questions to ask at your visit.
  • A warning at the top if anything may need care today.

Can AI read blood test results accurately?

It can copy clear, printed values well, but it can still slip on a blurry photo, a handwritten note or an unusual layout. That's why Saluvo reads every value twice and asks you to confirm the ones that differ. Even with a perfect reading, the meaning of a result depends on you: your age, your medicines, your symptoms, and how the value has changed over time. That part belongs to your doctor.

Which blood test results should worry you?

Most results that are a little outside the range are not an emergency, and some ranges are wide for good reason. Results far outside the range, or a value that keeps moving the wrong way across reports, are worth raising soon. If you feel unwell, don't wait for an explanation: get seen.

Tracking results over time

Every report you add is saved to the family member it belongs to. Once the same test appears in two or more reports, Saluvo draws a small line of how it moved and tells you if it went up, went down, came back into range or moved out of it.

What it costs

You need a free account to read reports. Confirm your email and you get 30 free credits. Each report is charged at 3.5 times what reading it cost us: usually about 2 credits in Normal mode, about 4.5 in Pro, where our most careful model reads it. If Saluvo can't read it, nothing is charged.

What it doesn't do

  • It doesn't diagnose. A high or low value can have many causes that only your doctor can sort out.
  • It can only read what's on the page. A blurry photo or a cut-off row can be skipped or misread, so check flagged values against the paper.
  • Scanned PDFs with no text inside can't be read as PDFs. Add a photo of each page instead.
  • It doesn't know your full history, how you felt on the day, or what your doctor already knows.
  • It doesn't recommend medicines or doses based on your results.

Saluvo gives health information, not medical advice. Always talk to a qualified doctor about diagnosis and treatment.

If it can't read your report, you don't pay

A report usually costs about 2 credits in Normal mode and about 4.5 in Pro. If Saluvo can't read it, nothing is charged. New accounts get 30 free credits once the email is confirmed.
