Abstract
The release in 1993 of a new reference material for serum proteins, CR M 470/RPPHS 5 has given rise to a great improvement in the between-lab oratory variability of serum protein measurements worldwide. Conversio n to the new reference material results in significant changes in refe rence values for some proteins. The establishment of new reference ran ges will take a considerable time, and in the interim several professi onal societies and diagnostic companies have agreed to use consensus r eference ranges based on studies already undertaken.
