Final tips:
If we couldn’t get the specific analyte or the
subtypes of m.o,
We will use “presence” or “ordinal”.
If the requested test doesn’t specify either the test is
qual or quant,
We will consider it as quantitative analysis by default.
Property
PrThr: presence or absence of an analyte.
Qualitative Prid: presence or absence of a particular kind of analyte.
Type: presence or absence of further analyte.
Final tip:
If you couldn’t identify the property of test
result,
We will use MCnc by default.
Quantitative subtypes:
Mrto: Ratio of the mass concentration of substance A / the mass concentration of creatinine in urine (mg/g).
Ex. Aldosterone/Creatinine in Urine
RelRto: Ratio of the mass concentration of same type of specimen from different Systems (%).
Ex. Protein in pleural fluid/Protein in serum
Timing
Final tip:
Final tip:
We use the panel code only if the requested procedure include all the analytes mentioned in it.
R/O/C: Required, Optional and Conditional
If we couldn’t find a single code for the test, we could use multiple codes.
Ex. ToRCH (IgG) (Toxo/Rub/CMV/HSV 1&2)
