Test ID: MEVP
Methemoglobinemia Evaluation
Secondary ID 
A test code used for billing and in test definitions created prior to November 2011
NY State Approved Indicates the status of NY State approval and if the test is orderable for NY State clients.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of methemoglobinemia and sulfhemoglobinemia
Differentiation of methemoglobinemia and sulfhemoglobinemia from other causes of cyanosis (eg, congenital heart disease)
Profile Information A profile is a group of laboratory tests that are ordered and performed together under a single Mayo Test ID. Profile information lists the test performed, inclusive of the test fee, when a profile is ordered and includes reporting names and individual availability.
| Test ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
|---|---|---|---|
| MEV | Methemoglobinemia Interpretation | No | Yes |
| A2F | Hemoglobin A2 and F | Yes | Yes |
| HBEL | Hemoglobin Electrophoresis, B | No | Yes |
| METH | Methemoglobin, B | Yes, (order MET) | Yes |
| SULF | Sulfhemoglobin, B | Yes, (order MET) | Yes |
| METR | Methemoglobin Reductase, B | Yes | Yes |
Reflex Tests Lists test(s) that may or may not be performed, at an additional charge, depending on the result and interpretation of the initial test(s)
| Test ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
|---|---|---|---|
| HPFH | Hemoglobin F, Red Cell Distrib, B | Yes | No |
| UNHB | Hemoglobin, Unstable, B | Yes | No |
| SDEX | Hemoglobin S, Scrn, B | Yes | No |
| IEF | IEF Confirms | No | No |
| HGBMO | HGB Electrophoresis, Molecular | No | No |
| MASS | Hb Variant by Mass Spec, B | No | No |
Testing Algorithm Delineates situation(s) when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
This is a consultative evaluation in which the case will be evaluated at Mayo Medical Laboratories, the appropriate tests performed at an additional charge, and the results interpreted.
Special Instructions and Forms Describes specimen collection and preparation information, test algorithms, and other information pertinent to test. Also includes pertinent information and consent forms to be used when requesting a particular test
