Testing Algorithm
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.
Note: #23544 "Reflexed RBC Enzymes, Blood" includes:
adenosine deaminase, adenylate kinase, phosphofructokinase,
phosphoglycerate kinase, triosephosphate isomerase, and
pyrimidine 5'nucleotidase.
