Reference Ranges Chart for Lab Results?

Does anyone know of a good link for a Reference Chart, that lists the normal ranges for blood tests during Hep C treatment??  I found info explaining what everything meant but I really only want a spreadsheet with the ranges, so I can compare each month at a glance.  Here is one that I found but hope there is a better one out there, because it seems we have so many more numbers to deal with:

Thanks in advance for any help.  Enjoy your weekend everyone.

Okay, I'll do that with the one from Flcyclist.  Love the color coding idea.  I read different labs had different norms, but hoped I could still find a general listing of ranges (preferably already in a spreadsheet).  No luck but now I know why.  I think this chart will do the trick.  Thanks again for your help!  Hope you are feeling good today.

I don't know of a reference chart. I would say find the best one one can and then modify the values to the norms your lab uses.

The listing of normal values should be on your lab reports. Different labs use different  lab norms so if you want to evaluate lab reports you should use the norms for that particular lab. Note reports will also indicate if High or Low and sometimes also Very High and Very Low. Perhaps either color coding or bolding values outside of the normal range would make it more useful.

Cheers!

Oh thank you, thank you!  Almost perfect.  It doesn't list the ranges, but I can easily write them in on this spreadsheet.  I have a whole notebook where I am keeping all my papers, trying to stay on top of things on the days I feel "clear headed."  Docs always say "everything looks good" or "this doesn't look so good", so I need the numbers in front of me, so I can continue to gage my progress.  I appreciate your help and quick response!  Blessings to you.

Following is a Treatment Monitoring Chart from Clinical Care Options posted by Aaron recently, not sure at MH or another forum?  Not sure if it's what you're looking for.  You might have to register to view this, but CCO has good information to review.
