LOINC Code


LOINC code20634-2
nameAlpha aminobutyrate [Moles/volume] in Serum or Plasma
descriptionGenetic metabolic specialist (from Canada) point out that plasma may be the traditional sample of choice, but they see no clinically significant difference between plasma and serum amino acids.

Fully-Specified Name

componentAlpha aminobutyrate
propertySCnc  =  Substance Concentration
timePt  =  Point in time:  To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements.
systemSer/Plas
    Ser  =  Serum
    Plas  =  Plasma
scaleQn  =  Quantitative:  The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256
