J-L Test Listing

Lactate Dehydrogenase (LD)

Test Code: 593

CPT Code(s): 83615

Methodology: Spectrophotometry (SP)

Clinical Significance: Elevations in serum lactate dehydrogenase occur from myocardial infarction, liver disease, pernicious and megaloblastic anemia, pulmonary emboli, malignancies, and muscular dystrophy. Since lactic dehydrogenase is present in many body tissues, it's diagnosis usefulness is limited. Tissue specificity may be enhanced by isoenzyme analysis.

Lipid Panel with reflex to Direct HDL

LIPID PANEL WITH RELFEX TO DIRECT HDL
Test Code: 14852
CPT Code(s): 80061
Includes: Total Cholesterol, HDL Cholesterol, Triglycerides, LDL-Cholesterol (calculated), Cholesterol/HDL Ratio (calculated). If Triglyceride result is >400 mg/dL, Direct LDL will be performed at an additional charge (CPT code(s): 83721).

Methodology: Spectrophotometry (SP)

Alternative Name(s): Cholesterol, HDL, Fasting Lipids, LDL


 

Lead, Blood

Test Code: 599

CPT Code(s): 83655

Methodology: Inductively Coupled Plasma/Mass Spectrometry (ICP/MS) or Atomic Spectroscopy
This test was developed and its analytical performance characteristics have been determined by Quest Diagnotics Nichols Institute, Chantilly, VA. It has not been cleared or approved by the FDA. This assay has been validated pursuant to the CLIA regulations and is used for clinical purposes.

Lipase

Test Code: 606

CPT Code(s): 83690

Methodology: Spectrophotometry (SP)

Clinical Significance: Confirmatory evidence for diagnosis of pancreatitis.

Alternative Name(s): Pancreatic lipase; LIP; Lipase, serum


 

Lithium

Test Code: 613

CPT Code(s): 80178

Methodology: Atomic Spectoscopy/ISE

Clinical Significance: Lithium is used to treat manic-depressive disorders and the manic phase of affective disorders, including mania. The therapeutic window is relatively small. Therapeutic drug monitoring is useful to optimize dose and avoid toxicity.

Alternative Name(s): None
