Search Tips

Wildcards Symbol (*)

The wildcard symbol (*) can be used in place of letters or characters in query words to search for different permutations of a word.

*	Can be in any position in the term and matches any number of characters.
Examples:	hemo*	matches hemolytic, hemophilia and hemophilia
	*NA	matches DNA and RNA
	*tet**	matches text and test
	BCL*	matches bcl-1/JH and bcl-2/JH
	virus*	matches virus or viruses
	*glucan*	matches beta-1,3-d-Glucan

Boolean Parameters

Search terms can be a single word or several words. The search engine automatically inserts and between words if nothing else is specified, so the Boolean term and can be omitted in search terms. For example, searching for tissue assay is the same as searching for tissue AND assay.

Quotes can be used to search for phrases. For example:

"tissue assay "

Words must be present in the specified order with no intervening words

The following boolean connectors can be used: AND, OR, NOT Examples:

tissue AND assay	Both words must be present
tissue OR assay	Either word can be present
assay NOT tissue	Only assay can be present, tissue cannot appear on the page

Calculi (Stone) Analysis : 0099460

Mnemonic: CALCULI

Methodology:	Quantitative Reflectance Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy/Quantitative Polarizing Microscopy
Performed:	Sun-Sat
Reported:	1-4 days
Specimen Required:	Collect: Calculi specimen. Specimen Preparation: Air-dry calculi and transfer to an ARUP Standard Transport Tube. Larger calculi specimens may be transferred to a clean, empty urine cup (150 mL) or similar container. Storage/Transport Temperature: Room temperature. Also acceptable: Frozen or refrigerated. Remarks: Calculi specimens transported in liquid or contaminated with blood require special handling which will delay analysis. Specimens that are wrapped in tape or embedded in wax will delay or prevent analysis and should not be submitted. Unacceptable Conditions: Any collection or shipping container with a needle attached. Stability (collection to initiation of testing): Ambient: Indefinitely; Refrigerated: Indefitnitely; Frozen: Indefinitely

Reference Interval: By report
Interpretive Data:	Calculi are the products of physiological processes that yield crystalline compounds in a matrix of biological compounds and blood. Matrix components are not reported. The clinically significant crystalline components identified in calculi specimens are reported.
Note:	Calculi samples that are transported in liquid and received wet or bloody will be dried for 48-72 hours prior to analysis.
CPT Code(s):	82365
