Editorial Guidelines

• Content is drafted by our editorial team and is intended for general health education — it is not personal medical advice.
• Every test, condition, and educational article is written against a consistent template covering what the test measures, who it may be relevant for, how it works, limitations, and when to see a clinician.
• We avoid sensationalist framing, fear-based copy, and claims that imply a single lab test can diagnose or rule out disease on its own.

Pages that display a "Medically reviewed" badge have been reviewed for clinical accuracy by the reviewer named on that page. Our current named reviewers include Sofia Ahmed, MD, and Caehla McGeady, MD. The badge records the responsible reviewer's name, credentials, and the date of the most recent review.

Pages without the badge have either not yet been formally reviewed or are scheduled for re-review. We don't backdate reviews or claim review coverage we don't have.

Medical reviewers serve an editorial role. They do not personally diagnose, treat, or prescribe through this site and are not the ordering physicians for partner lab orders. Any physician authorization is handled by the partner under its current process.

• We prefer primary sources (peer-reviewed literature, federal agencies such as the CDC, NIH, NIDDK, and professional society guidelines) over secondary aggregators.
• Key claims on test and condition pages list their sources at the bottom of the page.
• Reviewed pages are revisited at least annually, and sooner if new guidance materially changes our prior copy.

• Content covering symptoms with urgent or self-harm overlap (for example, chest pain, severe abdominal pain, suicidal ideation) carries an explicit safety block directing readers to call 911, the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, or seek emergency care.
• Lab testing is restricted or unavailable in certain U.S. states for regulatory reasons. Those restrictions are surfaced at the point of purchase, not buried in fine print.
• We do not write content intended to substitute for a clinician's evaluation of symptoms, imaging, or treatment plans.

Corrections and contact

If you spot a factual error or out-of-date guidance on any page, please write to editorial@labtestsuperstore.com. We correct material errors and add a dated note when the correction changes the substance of a page.

Independence

Editorial decisions are kept independent of which tests are profitable to sell. We don't suppress limitations, downsides, or competing interpretations of a test simply because we offer that test for purchase.
