Our lab reports results with a _reference range_ rather than making a
statement about normality.
1 in 20 results will be expected to be outside the reference range
without indicating pathology.
I frequently mark a group of results - liver function tests for instance
- - as normal despite one of them being outside the reference range.
SOme patients have a congenitally different result on some measurement
from the general run, a large but trivial example is those with
GIlbert's syndrome having a higher bilirubin.
Possibly the concept we are dealing with is less "normality" and more
"remarkability".
