## Prompt

```text
Help me understand my test results in plain language. I'll discuss them with my doctor.

**Test(s):** [e.g. blood panel, cholesterol, thyroid, imaging report]
**Results with reference ranges:** [PASTE — remove name and ID numbers]
**Context:** [age, sex, medications, reason for the test]

Explain:
1. What each test measures, in plain language.
2. Which results are inside or outside the reference range, and what that can generally mean.
3. Factors that can affect results (fasting, medications, hydration, lab differences).
4. Questions to ask my doctor.

Don't diagnose or recommend treatment changes. If any value looks critically abnormal, tell me to contact my doctor promptly.
