| 56 | === Haematology Fluid Tests |
| 57 | |
| 58 | Codes for haematology tests can either be for specific body fluids or generically for any body fluids. The specific ones can be easily mapped to loinc codes, but the generic ones require more work. |
| 59 | |
| 60 | Accompanying a generic test is an test of type assay, whose result is the type of fluid. The two rows in the haem_tests table appear to be linked by a shared Haem_Results_File field value. It will therefore be possible to assign a LOINC code to a test code and assay result combination. However, I suspect some combinations may have to be mapped to generic '... in Body Fluid' LOINC codes. |
