Your body’s service history
You keep a logbook for the car.
Keep one for yourself.
Lab ranges are built for the average person, not people who train. Type in your last blood test and see every marker against the standard range and ours, with what each flag actually means.

What the lab sends you
What VitalMetrics shows you
Creatinine
124 umol/L
- Standard range
- 60 - 110 umol/L
- VitalMetrics range
- 60 - 130 umol/L
Creatinine comes from muscle, so heavily muscled people run high and get a falsely low eGFR. A cystatin C test is not thrown off by muscle and usually settles it. Worth asking your GP for.
ALT / AST
52 / 58 U/L
- Standard range
- under 40 U/L
- VitalMetrics range
- under 55 / 60 U/L
Both enzymes also leak from muscle, and a hard session can lift them for up to a week, AST more than ALT. Retest after seven days off heavy training before reading anything into it.
Example results. Yours show your own markers and history.
Already have your results?
Health memberships charge hundreds of dollars a year to test you and explain the numbers. If your GP has already ordered the tests, you have the hard part. VitalMetrics explains every marker and tracks it over time, free.
“All normal” isn't a service history
Most blokes get a blood test, hear “all normal” over the phone, and never see the numbers. The PDF sits in an inbox and the next test starts from scratch.
But a single result only tells you where you are today. The useful part is the trend: cholesterol that climbs a little every year, blood sugar edging towards the line, a liver number that jumped since the last test. Same reason you keep the logbook: you catch the wear before something lets go.

Questions
Do I need an account?
Not to start typing. You can enter your results straight away, then create a free account to save them and see your report. Whatever you typed carries over when you sign up, so nothing is lost.
What does it cost?
Typing in your results, the report, your dashboard and trend charts are free. Two things cost credits, from A$5.90: having a PDF of your lab report read for you instead of typing it, and a VM Analysis that writes up your whole panel in plain English.
What is the VitalMetrics range?
Lab reference ranges describe the average person who gets tested. People who train hard and carry a lot of muscle routinely sit outside them for harmless reasons. Where the evidence supports it, we show a second range for that population next to the lab's, so you can see whether a flag is expected or worth acting on.
Where do I get my blood test results?
Ask your GP's practice for a copy of your last results, or check My Health Record, where many pathology reports show up. Most Australian labs also send results through their own patient portal or app.
Is this medical advice?
No. It tells you what's in range, what's moved since last time and what each marker is for, so you walk into your next GP appointment with better questions. Anything out of range is a conversation for your doctor.
Who can see my results?
Only you. Health values are encrypted in our database, we don't sell or share your data, and you can delete your account and everything in it from your profile at any time.
Your bloodwork.
Read properly.
Two minutes with the numbers you already have. Free, private, no card.
VitalMetrics is an information tool, not a medical service. It does not diagnose or treat any condition and does not replace advice from your doctor. Talk to your GP about any result that is out of range.
