LOINC description : The Metabolic disorder therapy monitoring panel is used for reporting the results
of laboratory tests that measure response to treatment for patients who have been
diagnosed with certain metabolic conditions, such as phenylketonuria (PKU). Treatment
often consists of a therapeutic diet, and dried blood spot specimens are periodically
sent to the laboratory in order to evaluate the patient's response to or compliance
with treatment. This panel includes terms for the condition which is being monitored,
the specimen quality of the dried blood spot, reason for unsatisfactory specimen (if
relevant), and the specific tests that are used for monitoring the various conditions.
One or more tests may be used for monitoring, depending on the specific condition.;
