LOINC long common name : Urinalysis yeast variants panel - Urine by Computer assisted method;
LOINC short name : UA yeast Pnl Ur Comp Assist;
LOINC description : 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).;
