What is the lab value translator in Pawtient AI?
The lab value translator lets you snap a photo of your pet's veterinary blood test report with the phone camera. Pawtient AI reads each value from the report and explains every parameter (SDMA, creatinine, BUN, T4, ALT, calcium, phosphorus, PCV, and more) in plain English. Each explanation includes the normal range, what the trend means, and questions to ask your vet.

Why does context matter when interpreting lab values?
A single lab value is data; three is a trend. Most CKD diagnoses come from trend lines, not single readings. Pawtient AI compares your pet's current values against their previous results so you see whether a number is rising, stable, or falling. The trend is what tells the story.
Does Pawtient AI replace my veterinarian?
No. The lab value translator is an educational AI assistant and second opinion: it helps you understand the report so you walk into the vet visit prepared with the right questions. Diagnosis and treatment decisions belong with a licensed veterinarian.
