| name | Glycerol [Moles/volume] in Serum by calculation | ||
| description | Glycerol concentration calculated based on the difference between triglyceride (TG) and glycerol-corrected TG measurements. Triglyceride is normally measured based on the amount of glycerol present after TG hydrolysis, but in certain conditions such as glycerol kinase deficiency, free glycerol is significantly elevated, which causes TG to appear falsely elevated. To account for this, free glycerol is removed prior to TG hydrolysis to get a true representation of the triglyceride measurement (glycerol-corrected TG) [LOINC: 94865-3]. | ||

| property | SCnc = Substance Concentration | ||
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | ||
| system | Ser = Serum | ||
| scale | Qn = 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 | ||
