LOINC display name : C3-DC C4-OH (DBS) [Moles/Vol];
LOINC long common name : Malonylcarnitine (C3-DC) 3-Hydroxybutyrylcarnitine (C4-OH) [Moles/volume] in DBS;
LOINC short name : Malonyl 3OHbutyrylcarn DBS-sCnc;
LOINC description : This 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.;
