What does this LOINC code represent?

This LOINC code identifies a lab observation, measurement, question, or clinical concept in a standardized format.

Is this enough to understand my test result?

No. The code identifies the test or observation, but the interpretation depends on the actual result, reference range, and clinical context.

When is it used?

Used in lab systems, EHRs, and clinical data exchange.
May identify a test, observation, survey item, or clinical document request rather than a diagnosis.
Status: ACTIVE
Order vs observation: Subset
Panel type: Convenience group

What it does not mean

The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

MET by predicted RMR panel

Metabolic equivalent of task by predicted resting metabolic rate panel

This panel includes terms for the metabolic equivalent of task (MET) calculated based on the measured, estimated or reported exercise metabolic rate and the predicted resting metabolic rate (RMR). Four RMR prediction equations commonly used in clinical practice are Mifflin-St Jeor RMR, Owen RMR, WHO/FAO/UNU, and the Harris-Benedict RMR.[PMID15883556] The prediction equation that is used is reported using [LOINC: 82277-5].
