With the Honest Explanation

Reference ranges vary between laboratories. This is not a quality issue — it is because each lab calibrates its instruments and methods using different populations, reagents, and equipment. A result of 5.5 at one lab may show as slightly different at another. What matters is: (1) always using the same lab for serial monitoring, (2) understanding your trend over time, not just one reading. Gini's ranges are calibrated on our specific instruments and validated monthly against international reference samples. Read the full explanation →

AbnormalAny deviation from normal patternRequires clinical interpretation — many variants of normal exist

What Your Result Means

If Your Result Is High

More Than a Lab — A Hospital Lab

Gini's ECG (12-Lead Electrocardiogram) costs ₹250. Budget standalone labs charge less. The difference is not just equipment — it is what happens when your result is abnormal.

At a standalone lab, you get a report. At Gini, if your ECG is significantly abnormal, our team flags it to Dr. Rahul Katyal's office. You are not alone with a concerning number.

This is what a hospital lab means vs a standalone diagnostic centre. More on Gini's lab quality →
