Examples are offered to highlight how biological variation can be used to: (1) assess the usefulness of subject‐based reference intervals, (2) determine measurand homeostatic set points, (3) interpret single or serial results for diagnosis of disease and (4) evaluate changes in serial results during monitoring.
