Parse laboratory values and reference ranges from clinical text and flag results as low, normal, high, or critical with OpenMed. Use when the user needs to interpret lab results, compute abnormal flags, parse reference ranges like "135-145" or "<5", honor an originating-lab flag (H/L/critical), or turn extracted lab entities into structured high/low/critical signals. Covers openmed.clinical.parse_reference_range, derive_abnormal_flag, ReferenceRange, and AbnormalFlag, with UCUM/LOINC framing.…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Parsing lab values
Lab results in clinical text arrive as a value, a unit, and a reference range
("Sodium 132 mmol/L (135–145)"). To act on them you need a structured
**abnormal flag** — is 132 low, normal, high, or critical? OpenMed's
`openmed.clinical` lab helpers parse the reference range deterministically and
derive the flag, honoring any explicit flag the originating lab already supplied.
The helpers are **unit-agnostic by design**: they compare numbers within a stated
range and never convert units, so a mmol/L value is never silently compared
against a mg/dL range.
## When to use
- After `extracting-clinical-entities` surfaces lab/measurement entities and you
need to classify each as low / normal / high / critical.
- The user asks to parse reference ranges, flag abnormal labs, build a flagged
labs table, or interpret values like `<5`, `>=10`, `0.5 - 1.2`.
- You have an originating-lab flag (`H`, `L`, `C`, `HH`) and want it honored over
a derived comparison.
## Quick start
```python
from openmed.clinical import (
parse_reference_range, derive_abnormal_flag, LAB_FLAG_ADVISORY,
)
# Closed range
rng = parse_reference_range("135-145")

How to install
mdr add maziyarpanahi/openmed/parsing-lab-values@sha256:f1ce68cbab181868The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
