Properties

This code system defines the following properties for its concepts

NameCodeTypeDescription
abstractabstractbooleanTrue if an element is considered 'abstract' - in otherwords, the code is not for use as a real concept

Concepts

This case-sensitive code system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaning defines the following codes in a Is-A hierarchy:

LvlCodeDisplayDefinitionabstract
1type TypeGeneral types of reference range.true
2\u00a0\u00a0normal Normal RangeValues expected for a normal member of the relevant control population being measured. Typically each results producer such as a laboratory has specific normal ranges and they are usually defined as within two standard deviations from the mean and account for 95.45% of this population.
2\u00a0\u00a0recommended Recommended RangeThe range that is recommended by a relevant professional body.
2\u00a0\u00a0treatment Treatment RangeThe range at which treatment would/should be considered.
2\u00a0\u00a0therapeutic Therapeutic Desired LevelThe optimal range for best therapeutic outcomes.
3\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0pre Pre Therapeutic Desired LevelThe optimal range for best therapeutic outcomes for a specimen taken immediately before administration.
3\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0post Post Therapeutic Desired LevelThe optimal range for best therapeutic outcomes for a specimen taken immediately after administration.
1endocrine EndocrineEndocrine related states that change the expected value.true
2\u00a0\u00a0pre-puberty Pre-PubertyAn expected range in an individual prior to puberty.
2\u00a0\u00a0follicular Follicular StageAn expected range in an individual during the follicular stage of the cycle.
2\u00a0\u00a0midcycle MidCycleAn expected range in an individual during the midcycle stage of the cycle.
2\u00a0\u00a0luteal LutealAn expected range in an individual during the luteal stage of the cycle.
2\u00a0\u00a0postmenopausal Post-MenopauseAn expected range in an individual post-menopause.
