Unit Code 89834:
Supersaturation Profile, Pediatric, Random, Urine
Useful For
Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis and management of patients with renal lithiasis:
-In patients who have a radiopaque stone, for whom stone analysis is not available, the supersaturation data can be used to predict the likely composition of the stone. This may help in designing a treatment program.
-Individual components of the supersaturation profile can identify specific risk factors for stones.
-During follow-up, changes in the urine supersaturation can be used to monitor the effectiveness of therapy by confirming that the crystallization potential has indeed decreased.
Profile Information
A profile is a group of laboratory tests that are ordered and performed together under a single Unit Code. Profile information lists tests performed, inclusive of the test fee, when a profile is ordered and includes reporting names and individual availability.
