nameErythrocyte clumps [Presence] in Urine sediment by Light microscopy
statusACTIVE

Fully-Specified Name

componentErythrocyte clumps
propertyPrThr  =  Present or threshold:  The Property PrThr stands for “Presence or Threshold”, meaning either a) the actual presence or absence of an analyte, or b) that the amount of analyte detected is over some predetermined threshold.
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.
systemUrine sed  =  Urine sediment
scaleOrd  =  Ordinal:  Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive.
methodMicroscopy.light

change reasonMethod was changed from 'Microscopy.light.HPF' to 'Microscopy.light'. It is not necessary to be specific about what area (HPF or LPF) was examined to interpret the results, which will be present or absent. We do need to distinguish the magnification when the lab is reporting a number because that number will be different depending upon whether it is HPF or LPF.; The PrThr property is used for LOINC terms whose results are reported using an ordered categorical scale, regardless of whether or not an internal threshold was used to make that determination. This change was approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016.
