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.

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

Aldosterone [Mass/volume] in Serum or Plasma by Radioimmunoassay (RIA)

Aldosterone

Aldosterone concentration measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA) and chemiluminescent immunoassay are well-correlated; however, they have different reference ranges. [PMID29115296] This term is for aldosterone measurement by RIA. For aldosterone concentration measured by immunoassay methods such as chemiluminescence, see [LOINC: 92897-8].
