Dear <Insert Participant name>,
Dear <insert SP name or Parent/guardian of SP>,
Recently, <you/ your child> took part in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The survey is run by the National Center for Health Statistics, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We reviewed <your/your child’s> test results from the exam on <insert date>. We found that some results were abnormal and require your immediate attention.
As part of this exam, <your/your child’s> blood was tested for certain Hemoglobin variants. Hemoglobin variants are caused by genetic abnormalities that affect red blood cells. Your child’s blood sample taken on <insert exam date> was found to have <% ____ Hemoglobin <S, C, D, E, or F>>. Knowing these results may affect clinical care and family planning in the future. We highly recommend that you follow up with <your/your child’s> doctor if you are not aware of this condition.
Hemoglobin variants are usually found in people whose families originally came from areas in Africa, the Middle East, or Asia. In the United States, these conditions are usually discovered after birth. Most newborns are tested as part of recommended newborn screening programs. Persons born outside of the United States, who have not had their blood screened, may not be aware of the condition.
Persons with hemoglobin variants may experience mild or severe symptoms. How severe the symptoms are depends on the variant type and on how much is present in the blood. We have provided you with the percent in the result above so that you will have this information when you follow up with <your/your child’s> doctor.
The NHANES program will not pay for any follow-up tests or care you may need, but we will be available to talk with you or your doctor about this letter and to answer any questions you may have. You are responsible for securing your test results. If you do not want anyone else to review your results place them in a secure place so no one else can review them.

The survey is run by the National Center for Health Statistics, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We reviewed <your/your child’s> test results from the exam on <insert date>. We found that some results need your attention.
As part of your exam, <your/your child’s> blood was tested for butyrylcholinesterase.
<Your/your child’s> butyrylcholinesterase level was low at less than 0.05 U/ml.
This is a new test developed to understand what butyrylcholinesterase levels are like in the general population. Although this test is not the same test used in clinics or hospitals, we think it is important for you to know your result as it may be important to your health.
Low butyrylcholinesterase is also known as Pseudocholinesterase deficiency. Having a low level happens in a very small percent of people. Some people who have a low level may react to certain medicines used in general anesthesia for surgery. Although this reaction is rare, it is important to tell your doctor so that a safe medication is used for you.
The NHANES program will not pay for any follow-up tests or care you may require. We will be available to talk with you or your doctor about this letter and to answer any questions you may have. You are responsible for securing your test results. If you do not want anyone else to review your results place them in a secure place so no one else can review them.

As part of this exam, your urine was tested for arsenic, a metal widespread in the environment. The arsenic level in your urine sample taken on <insert date> was above the usual range (reference range). This suggests you were exposed to arsenic during the week before your exam.
We strongly recommend you take this letter to your doctor as soon as you can. You will want to talk with your doctor about any other tests and possible treatment that you may need.
We want to give you this important information and urge you to see your doctor.

<Insert Participant Name and address>
Recently, the person named in this report participated in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), conducted by the National Center for Health Statistics, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.. The objective of the survey is to obtain information on the health and nutrition status of the U.S. population. The survey was performed on a random sample of individuals living in your region.
The listed laboratory value from the individual named above was sufficiently increased to require early reporting.
Test |
Participant's value |
Reference range |
Total urinary arsenic |
ug/L |
See below |
Total urinary arsenic values greater than 50 ug/L are suggestive of increased exposure to arsenic during the week before the urine collection date. The incidence of health effects is indeterminate in the range of 50-200 ug/L. In persons having urinary arsenic concentrations greater than 200 ug/L on a long-term basis, the incidence of health effects is low, but increases with the length of time over which exposure has occurred and the concentration level. The chronic effects of arsenic include: skin pigmentation changes, plantar and palmar hyperkeratotic papules, peripheral vascular insufficiency, and an increased incidence of cancer (skin, bladder, lung).
Urinary arsenic concentration levels will represent a person’s most recent exposures (within days or weeks). The levels do not indicate length of exposure. Concentration may increase or decrease at different times depending on changes in: exposure (intake), personal activities, diet, timing of specimen collection and the influence of health conditions. Persons having the same intake may have differences in levels due the influence of these factors as well as genetic differences between individuals.
Reference comparison values for normal populations will vary with population and the conditions under which the study was performed. Reference comparison values may vary with age, gender, race, location, activities, analytic methods and other factors.
Urine arsenic levels in healthy adults between 5 to 50 µg/L generally correspond to whole blood arsenic levels between 2-23 µg/L. Ref: Tietz, R.E. Ed.: Clinical Guide to Laboratory Tests. 3rd ed. Philadelphia, W.B. Saunders Col, 1995.
The examination was not intended to be a complete physical examination nor a substitute for a visit to a doctor. Our survey physicians are not authorized to administer treatment or engage in any follow-up with the survey participants.
You are responsible for securing your test results. If you do not want anyone else to review your results place them in a secure place so no one else can review them.

Early Reporting Letter – Cytomegalovirus
<official letterhead>
Date
Dear Parent/guardian,
Recently, your child took part in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The survey is run by the National Center for Health Statistics, part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. We reviewed your child’s test results from his/her exam on <insert date>. We found that some values were abnormal and need your immediate attention.
As part of this exam your child’s blood was tested for cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. Your child’s blood sample taken on <insert exam date>, was positive for CMV infection.1
CMV is a very common virus that most people get. Once a person gets CMV it stays in his/her body for life. Nearly all healthy children who get CMV have no symptoms and parents will likely not even know that their child has been infected. If your child has serious medical problems, including a weakened immune system, CMV can cause more serious problems. We recommend you take this letter to your doctor.
Although CMV infection will not likely harm your child, children with a CMV infection can pass the virus to pregnant women. If a woman gets a new CMV infection while pregnant, her baby can be harmed. If your child has CMV and you are pregnant or planning to get pregnant, we recommend you learn about CMV. There are simple steps you can take to lower your risk of CMV infection at this website http://www.cdc.gov/cmv/index.html. You may also call the number below for this information.
The NHANES program will not pay for any follow-up tests or care you may need, but we will be available to talk with you or your doctor about this letter and to answer any questions you may have. You can reach me on our toll-free number 1-800-452-6115 between 7:30 AM and 4:30 PM Eastern Time, Monday through Friday.

Cytomegalovirus Fact Sheet
Am Fam Physician. 2003 Feb 1;67(3):526.
What is cytomegalovirus?
Cytomegalovirus (say: “si-toe-meg-ah-low-vi-russ”) or CMV is a virus that infects cells and causes them to become enlarged. Many people are infected with CMV and don't even know it. People are usually infected by the time they are two years old or during their teenaged years. CMV usually causes no long-term problems. However, CMV can cause problems in a newborn if the mother gets the infection during pregnancy.
CMV is only spread through contact with an infected person's body fluids (such as saliva, blood, urine, semen, or breast milk). It can also be sexually transmitted. Careful handwashing with soap and water can help prevent the spread of CMV.
What are the symptoms of CMV?
Usually, there are no symptoms. A few people will have symptoms that are similar to mononucleosis (such as a sore throat, fever, headache, and being tired). People who have weakened immune systems because of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or because they received an organ transplant may have severe symptoms.
How will my doctor know if I have CMV?
Because usually there are no symptoms, your doctor won't know that you have CMV. If you do have symptoms, your doctor may test your blood to look for CMV. People who have HIV should be seen by an eye doctor as recommended by their doctor to make sure the virus hasn't infected their eyes. Also, people with HIV should let their doctor know if they are having any painless blurring of their vision, “floaters” only in one eye, light flashes, areas of blindness, and shortness of breath.
Is there a treatment for CMV?
There is no vaccine for CMV. Because CMV is a virus, antibiotics won't work. If your body's immune system is normal, your body should be able to control the infection. If your immune system is weakened, your doctor may use one of several different medicines to treat CMV infection.

Your kidneys filter your blood and help control blood pressure. We checked how healthy your kidneys are by calculating your estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). This is not a meaningful test if you are very muscular.
Your estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 120 mL/min/1.73m2
This indicates normal function
This value is not meaningful for pregnant women, individuals with acute kidney failure, people with extreme body size or muscle mass (such as individuals who are bodybuilders, extremely obese or severely malnourished), and people on vegetarian or low-meat diets or taking creatine dietary supplements.

The whole-body scan provides information on your percent body fat.
The body composition exam results showed that your total body fat is ___%.
We do not know exactly what percent body fat is considered healthy for your age and gender.
Researchers are working to define the healthy ranges for the public. You may want to discuss this result
and your body measurement findings (page 1) with your doctor to find out what they mean for you. Too
much body fat can increase a person's risk of getting diabetes or heart disease.
Liver Elastography
Liver elastography measures the stiffness of your liver. In general, having liver stiffness may indicate liver damage.
Information from your liver ultrasound exam showed a value of 3.60 kiloPascals (kPa).
A scoring system (1), was used to interpret your result. Using this recommended scoring system, the result showed you have little or no liver stiffness. No additional follow-up regarding this test is recommended at
this time.
