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.

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

Parathyroid Hormone-Related Peptide (PTHrP) : 0093014

Mnemonic: PTH RELPEP

Methodology:	Quantitative Immunoradiometry
Performed:	Wed, Thu, Sat
Reported:	2-6 days
Specimen Required:	Collect: Lavender (EDTA) or pink (K₂EDTA). Collect in chilled container. Specimen Preparation: Add 0.04 cc of aprotinin per 1 mL of whole blood to collection tube immediately after collection. (Example: 3 mL EDTA tube would require 0.12 cc aprotinin. 3 x 0.04 cc = 0.12 cc aprotinin) Centrifuge and separate plasma from cells ASAP. Transfer 2 mL plasma to an ARUP Standard Transport Tube and freeze immediately. (Min: 0.5 mL) Storage/Transport Temperature: Frozen. Remarks: To prevent analyte degradation, aprotinin inhibitor is the required additive for this assay. Inhibitor vials are available through ARUP Client Services (ARUP Supply #16570). Stability (collection to initiation of testing): After addition of aprotinin and separation from cells: Ambient: Unacceptable; Refrigerated: 24 hours; Frozen: 3 months

Reference Interval: By report
Interpretive Data:	Refer to Statement D under Testing Information at http://www.aruplab.com.
CPT Code(s):	83519
