Unit Code 9255:
Carbohydrate, Urine

Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful

Screening for disorders with increased excretion of fructose,

glucose, galactose, disaccharides, and oligosaccharides,

as well as succinylpurines

Genetics Test Information Provides information that may help with selection of the correct test or proper submission of the test request

Screening for disorders with increased excretion of fructose,

glucose, galactose, disaccharides, and oligosaccharides, as

well as succinylpurines. If qualitative result is suggestive

of an elevation of galactose or glucose additional testing will be

performed at an additional charge.

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)

 Unit Code  Reporting Name  Available Separately  Always Performed 
89847 Glucose, Random, U Yes No
8765 Galactose, QN, U Yes No

Testing Algorithm Delineates situation(s) when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.

Testing begins with #9255 "Carbohydrate, Urine." If qualitative

results are normal, testing is complete.

If qualitative results indicate the presence of galactose, #8765

"Galactose, Quantitative, Urine' will be performed at an additional

charge.

If qualitative results indicate the presence of glucose, #89847

"Glucose, Random, Urine" will be performed at an additional

charge.

If qualitative results are abnormal but not indicative of galactose

or glucose, testing is complete.
