LOINC display name : C4-DC C5-OH (DBS) [Moles/Vol];
LOINC long common name : Methylmalonylcarnitine (C4-DC) 3-Hydroxyisovalerylcarnitine (C5-OH) [Moles/volume]
in DBS;
LOINC short name : C4-DC C5-OH 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 two separate analytes C4-DC [LOINC: 45222-7]
and C5-OH [LOINC: 50106-4]. 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.;
