1  typehttp://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaningType

General types of reference range.

2    normalhttp://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaningNormal Range

Values 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    recommendedhttp://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaningRecommended Range

The range that is recommended by a relevant professional body.

2    treatmenthttp://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaningTreatment Range

The range at which treatment would/should be considered.

2    therapeutichttp://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaningTherapeutic Desired Level

The optimal range for best therapeutic outcomes.

3      prehttp://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaningPre Therapeutic Desired Level

The optimal range for best therapeutic outcomes for a specimen taken immediately before administration.

3      posthttp://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaningPost Therapeutic Desired Level

The optimal range for best therapeutic outcomes for a specimen taken immediately after administration.

1  endocrinehttp://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaningEndocrine

Endocrine related states that change the expected value.

2    pre-pubertyhttp://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaningPre-Puberty

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Level A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. In this scheme, some codes are under other codes, and imply that the code they are under also applies
System The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance)
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
Definition An explanation of the meaning of the concept
Comments Additional notes about how to use the code
