LOINC long common name : Urinalysis microscopic panel [#/volume] - Urine by Automated count;
LOINC short name : UA Microscopic Pnl # Ur Auto;
LOINC description : Urinalysis microscopic panel [#/volume] in urine by automated count is the collection
of automated terms that are per volume. These are created to ease the mapping of local
codes for automated urinalysis machines to LOINC codes. The batteries include a set
of tests reported one way- e.g. as concentrations of observed particles or cells,
as number of particles or cell per microscopic field (we presume the units will say
whether they are per HPF or per LPF- though crystals and cells are usually reported
per HPF and casts per LPF), and one as categorical response, e.g. pos/neg or none,
few many, loaded. Laboratories pick and choose how to report information that comes
out of their automated instrument (which can provide numeric concentrations). So it
is unlikely that any real UA panel will be of only one kind (e.g. NCNC, Naric , or
Ord).;
