Malonylcarnitine (C3-DC)+3-Hydroxybutyrylcarnitine (C4-OH) [Moles/volume] in DBS   67708-8

LOINC Code


LOINC code67708-8
nameMalonylcarnitine (C3-DC)+3-Hydroxybutyrylcarnitine (C4-OH) [Moles/volume] in DBS
descriptionThis analyte is measured using the non-derivatized tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) method and is not measured when using the derivatized reagents. When using the derivatized reagents, it will instead be measured as the C3-DC+C8-OH analyte [LOINC: 53178-0]. A different LOINC code is used for the derivatized or non-derivatized method because based on the reagents used in processing, different sets of analytes become isobaric, which means that they cannot be distinguished on the MS/MS because they have the same molecular weight after reagent processing.

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.
systemBld.dot  =  Blood filter paper
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
