title: [Uniform reference intervals and harmonised results in clinical biochemistry in Scandinavia--light ahead].
abstract: Danish laboratories are introducing identical reference intervals for a number of biochemical components in accordance with a Nordic agreement and recommendations during 2007. Danish doctors will consequently experience both changes in reference interval limits as well as adjustments of patients' levels of reported results for some components.
