225.6pg·mL⁻¹Ref 30–200 pg·mL⁻¹
Z +2.60↑ Bad
The card shows an example result of 225.6 pg·mL⁻¹, which is 2.60 SD above the mean.
What it measures
Substance P is a neuropeptide released by sensory nerves. It passes on pain signals and triggers local inflammation.
Reference range
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Abbreviation | Substance P |
| Group | Nerve and blood vessel |
| Unit | pg·mL⁻¹ |
| Healthy range | 30–200 |
| Mean | 115 |
| SD | 42.5 |
| Direction | ↑ Bad — a raised value is the concern. |
The mean is (low + high) / 2 and the SD is (high − low) / 4, so the healthy range covers Z from −2 to +2.
Reading the result
- High — Linked to chronic pain, inflammation, and stress.
- Low — Not a concern.
Notes
- It breaks down quickly once drawn, so samples need special handling.
