labNorm provides functions for normalizing standard
laboratory measurements (e.g. hemoglobin, cholesterol levels) according
to age and sex. These normalizations are based on the algorithms
described in the research paper “Personalized lab test
models to quantify disease potentials in healthy individuals”.
This package allows users to easily obtain normalized values for their lab results and to project them on the population distribution. It can use reference distributions from Clalit HMO or UKBB. For more information go to: https://tanaylab.weizmann.ac.il/labs/
You can install the development version of labNorm from
GitHub using the remotes package:
retmotes::install_github("tanaylab/labNorm")Normalize hemoglobin values for a group of subjects:
library(labNorm)
# Add a column for the normalized values
hemoglobin_data$quantile <- ln_normalize(
hemoglobin_data$value,
hemoglobin_data$age,
hemoglobin_data$sex,
"Hemoglobin"
)
