Methemoglobin [Moles/volume] in Cerebral spinal fluid   72262-9

LOINC Code


LOINC code72262-9
nameMethemoglobin [Moles/volume] in Cerebral spinal fluid
descriptionThe bilirubin excess is the most sophisticated parameter to exclude subarachnoidal hemorrhage in patient with negative cranial CT scan. The conclusion is also dependent on the amount of presence of methemoglobin in CSF (Apperloo J.J., et al. CCLM FESCC (44), 2006)
statusACTIVE

Fully-Specified Name

componentMethemoglobin
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.
systemCSF  =  Cerebral spinal fluid
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
