Terms of use
The rules for using blood-analysis.com: what you can expect from the site, what it does not replace, and what each side commits to.
Purpose
These terms govern access to and use of blood-analysis.com. The site is published by Smart Medical Care SAS, a French company whose full details appear in our legal notice. By using the site, you accept these terms; if you do not, please do not use it.
Access to the site
The site is free to use, with no sign-up or account. We try to keep it available at all times but cannot guarantee it: it may be interrupted for maintenance, updates or outages, without notice.
Information, not medical advice
The guides, tables and tools on this site are provided for educational and informational purposes. They are not medical advice, a diagnosis or a prescription, and they do not replace a visit with a doctor or another healthcare professional. Reference ranges vary from lab to lab: always compare your results with the ranges printed on your report, and never change a treatment based on this site alone. In an emergency, call 911.
Tools and calculators
The calculators on this site (kidney filtration rate, cholesterol, unit conversion) apply published formulas to the values you enter. Their results are indicative, depend on the accuracy of what you enter, and should be interpreted by a healthcare professional. Calculations run in your browser: the values you enter are not sent to us.
Content ownership
The text, tables, illustrations and graphics on this site are protected by copyright and belong to Smart Medical Care SAS unless otherwise stated. You may read them and quote short excerpts for informational purposes, with the source and a link to the original page. Any other copying or reuse, including systematic extraction of the content, requires prior written permission.
Links to other sites
The site links to official sources and scientific publications, and to AI DiagMe, a lab-result interpretation service run by the same company as this site. We do not control third-party sites and are not responsible for their content; their use is governed by their own terms.
Advertising
The site may display ads provided by Google AdSense. Ads are separate from our editorial content, and their presence does not mean we endorse the products or services shown. Advertising cookies and how to accept or refuse them are described in our privacy policy.
Using the site
You agree to use the site lawfully, not to disrupt how it works, and not to try to access its non-public parts.
Liability
We work to publish accurate, sourced and up-to-date information, and we correct errors that are reported to us. We cannot guarantee that it is complete or error-free. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for decisions made on the basis of this site alone, without the advice of a healthcare professional.
Personal data and cookies
The site requires no sign-up. The data we process (audience measurement, advertising, emails you send us), cookies and your rights are described in our privacy policy.
Reporting an error or content
To report an error or content you believe is unlawful, or to ask a question about these terms, write to us from our Contact page.
Changes to these terms
These terms may change as the site or the law evolves. The applicable version is the one published on this page, as of the update date shown at the top.
Governing law
These terms are governed by French law. In the event of a dispute, we will first seek an amicable solution; failing that, the French courts have jurisdiction, without prejudice to the mandatory consumer-protection rules of your state of residence.
