Parameter Trending

Creating graphs of particular test results over a period of time provides valuable information about a patient’s health, efficacy of treatment or disease progression.

Here’s how you can graph your in-house hematology, chemistry, electrolyte and endocrinology results over time on the IDEXX VetLab® Station.

Graphing Test Results:

Tap Records on the IDEXX VetLab Station Home screen, select the desired patient and tap View Records.
On the Records: Select Results screen, select between two and six test results and tap Trend.
On the Records: Select Analytes screen, select up to six parameters to graph and tap Trend.
The Records: Test Results Trending screen displays with the selected parameters graphed from the earliest test to the most recent. Tap Print to print the graphed results.

Analyte Descriptions

Analyte descriptions offer valuable background information about the individual parameters of the test results. Descriptions are available for chemistry, hematology, immunoassay, coagulation and urinalysis parameters.

You can access these descriptions directly from a patient’s Records: Test Results screen or at any time through the IDEXX VetLab Station online help system. Analyte descriptions are easy to print and can help when you explain diagnostic results to your clients.
