Description
I am unable to find laboratory results for beta-d-glucan despite the test being mentioned in notes/radiology reports. I've tried searching across all dim tables using various case-insensitive representations (e.g. %beta-d-glucan%
, %bdg%
, %glucan%
, etc) with no luck. I've also tried searching using the brand name Fungitell
. Searching hosp.d_labitems
using where lower(label) like '%beta%'
does return the following:
+--------+--------+----------------------+---------------------+------------------+------------------------------------+----------+------------+
| source | itemid | label | fluid | linksto | category | unitname | param_type |
+--------+--------+----------------------+---------------------+------------------+------------------------------------+----------+------------+
| hosp | 50881 | Beta-2 Microglobulin | Blood | | Chemistry | | |
| hosp | 51566 | Beta | Blood | | Chemistry | | |
| hosp | 51567 | Beta Hydroxybutyrate | Blood | | Chemistry | | |
| hosp | 51781 | Beta | Cerebrospinal Fluid | | Chemistry | | |
| hosp | 51810 | Beta | Joint Fluid | | Chemistry | | |

| hosp | 51913 | Beta | Pleural | | Chemistry | | |
| hosp | 51931 | Beta | Stool | | Chemistry | | |
| hosp | 51965 | Beta | Urine | | Chemistry | | |
| hosp | 52184 | TCR Alpha-Beta | Blood | | Hematology | | |
| hosp | 52331 | TCR Alpha-Beta | Bone Marrow | | Hematology | | |
| hosp | 52367 | TCR Alpha-Beta | Other Body Fluid | | Hematology | | |
| hosp | 53119 | Beta | Ascites | | Chemistry | | |
+--------+--------+----------------------+---------------------+------------------+------------------------------------+----------+------------+
which has several results for Beta
however I'm unsure if this is referring to Beta Hydroxybutyrate
or some other laboratory test.
Any suggestions/explanations would be greatly appreciated!
