General types of reference range.

2     normal icon http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaning Normal Range

2     recommended icon http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaning Recommended Range

The range that is recommended by a relevant professional body.

2     treatment icon http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaning Treatment Range

The range at which treatment would/should be considered.

2     therapeutic icon http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaning Therapeutic Desired Level

The optimal range for best therapeutic outcomes.

3       pre icon http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaning Pre Therapeutic Desired Level

The optimal range for best therapeutic outcomes for a specimen taken immediately before administration.

Explanation of the columns that may appear on this page:

Lvl A few code lists that FHIR defines are hierarchical - each code is assigned a level. For value sets, levels are mostly used to organize codes for user convenience, but may follow code system hierarchy - see Code System for further information
Source The source of the definition of the code (when the value set draws in codes defined elsewhere)
Code The code (used as the code in the resource instance). If the code is in italics, this indicates that the code is not selectable ('Abstract')
Display The display (used in the display element of a Coding). If there is no display, implementers should not simply display the code, but map the concept into their application
Definition An explanation of the meaning of the concept
Comments Additional notes about how to use the code
