Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Medical units and reporting standards for blood tests frequently vary across different countries and laboratory institutions, prompting ongoing international efforts toward harmonization.

The analysis

The claim is specific, empirical, and contestable regarding the variability of medical blood test units across countries and institutions. Multiple retrieved papers confirm that significant diversity exists in reporting units and measurement procedures internationally, while initiatives strive to achieve standardization, thus fully supporting the claim.
