The introduction of SI units and the standardisation of laboratory reports: recommendations of the South African Association of Clinical Biochemists.
The change of SI units in laboratory reporting is occurring in South Africa. To assist this process and to ensure uniformity among laboratories, the Recommendations of the South African Association of Clinical Biochemists are presented. Controversial points are discussed and subunits selected. A standardised format of laboratory reports is suggested.
