Clinical Significance: Oligoclonal band (OCB) detection is used for diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (MS); especially in patients with equivocal clinical presentation and radiological findings. This assay is based on increased intrathecal immunoglobulin synthesis. AbnormalOCB patterns have been reported in 70% to 80% of MS patients.

Organic Acid Screen, Urine
Test Code: 13336 |
CPT Code: 83919 |
Specimen Type: Random urine |
Sample Volume: 20 mL (10mL - min) |
Transport Condition: Frozen condition |
Specimen Rejection Criteria: Nil |
Methodology: GS/MS |
Special Requirements: |
Clinical Significance: Organic acids are produced as physiologic intermediates in a variety of metabolic pathways. Organic acidurias are a group of disorders in which one or more of these pathways are blocked, resulting in a deficiency of normal products and an abnormal accumulation of intermediate metabolites (organic acids).
These excess organic acids are excreted in the urine. This assay aids in the diagnosis of such inborn errors of metabolism.

Run Day: Mon to Fri |
Reporting Day: 10th day |
Osmolality, 24 Hrs, Urine
Test Code: 15983 |
CPT Code: 81050,83935 |
Specimen Type: 24 hrs urine |
Sample Volume: 5 mL |
Transport Condition: Refrigerated condition |
Specimen Rejection Criteria: Nil |
Methodology: Freezing Point Depression |
Special Requirements: 24 hrs urine without preservative. Refrigerate during collection. |
Clinical Significance: Urine osmolality is a measure of the concentration of osmotically active particles, principally sodium, chloride, potassium, urea, and glucose if present.
This assay is used for assessing the concentrating ability of the kidneys. In chronic renal failure, the concentrating ability of the tubules is diminished, which may be demonstrated with a urine osmolality measurement. In polyuria due to diabetes insipidus, the urine osmolality is very low, and this may be used to differentiate this condition from polyuria of neurogenic origin.

Run Day: Mon, Wed, Fri |
Reporting Day: Same day |
Osmolality, Serum
Test Code: 6258 |
CPT Code: 83930 |
Specimen Type: Serum collected in a yellow-top tube |
Sample Volume: 3.0 mL (1.0mL - min) |
Transport Condition: Room temperature |
Specimen Rejection Criteria: Grosshemolysis and hyperlipemic |
Methodology: Freezing point depression |
Special Requirements: No special precautions needed |
Clinical Significance: Serum osmolality is increased in hypernatremia, hyperglycemia, uremia, ethanol, methanol, or ethylene glycol overdoses, and in diabetes insipidus.
|
Run Day: Mon, Wed, Fri |
Reporting Day: Next day |
Osmolality, Urine
Test Code: 1297 |
