LOINC description : Most laboratories include color and clarity (and some times some other direct observations
about the urine) as part of the dipstick exam and call it Urine macrocopic. In discussions
with large laboratory systems we were encouraged to use the term macrocopic to refer
to the dipstick plus the few direct observations. We re-named the dipstick panel to
Macrocopic (DipStick) to follow the more traditional naming convention. To avoid any
confusion we have set the Macroscopic to be avoided for mapping and ordering.;
