LOINC display name : Reducing substances Ql (Stl);
LOINC long common name : Reducing substances [Presence] in Stool;
LOINC short name : Reducing Subs Stl Ql;
LOINC description : This term represents typical reducing substance assays that detect reducing substances
in stool without (or before) the addition of HCl. These assays do not detect sugars
that are not reducing, such as sucrose. A different code [LOINC: 57796-5] represents
the stool reducing substance assay with the addition of HCl, which hydrolyzes sugars
that are not typically reducing and converts them into a reducing form.;
