Properties

This code system defines the following properties for its concepts

CodeTypeDescription
abstractbooleanTrue 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 heirarchy:

LvlCodeDisplayDefinitionabstract
1type TypeGeneral types of reference range.true
2  normal 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  recommended Recommended RangeThe range that is recommended by a relevant professional body.
2  treatment Treatment RangeThe range at which treatment would/should be considered.
2  therapeutic Therapeutic Desired LevelThe optimal range for best therapeutic outcomes.
3    pre Pre Therapeutic Desired LevelThe optimal range for best therapeutic outcomes for a specimen taken immediately before administration.
3    post 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  pre-puberty Pre-PubertyAn expected range in an individual prior to puberty.
2  follicular Follicular StageAn expected range in an individual during the follicular stage of the cycle.
2  midcycle MidCycleAn expected range in an individual during the midcycle stage of the cycle.
2  luteal LutealAn expected range in an individual during the luteal stage of the cycle.
2  postmenopausal Post-MenopauseAn expected range in an individual post-menopause.
