Zusammenfassung: | It is a professional requirement for clinical biochemists to provide Interpretative Remarks (IR). Few clinical labs give any comments at all, and the majority of laboratories just employ pre-written remarks on the report. In addition to physicians, other medical professionals, and occasionally even patients themselves, seek laboratory experts for guidance on data interpretation. The quality of interpretative remarks is impacted by the unavailability of the patient's medical record, restricted communication with the doctors, and a lack of professional experience. The purpose of this paper is to highlight how crucial it is to provide interpretive commentary in the context of responsibility for medical biochemists. In a similar vein, this paper offers guidance to those who offer interpretations.
