LP15311-1   Acetaldehyde
Acetaldehyde, sometimes known as ethanal, is an organic chemical compound with the formula C H 3 CHO or MeCHO. It is is a flammable liquid with a fruity smell. Acetaldehyde occurs naturally in ripe fruit, coffee, and fresh bread and is produced by plants as part of their normal metabolism. It is probably best known as the chemical that causes hangovers. In the chemical industry, acetaldehyde is used as an intermediate in the production of acetic acid, certain esters, and a number of other chemicals. In 1989, US production stood at 740 million pounds (336,000 t). Copyright Text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License.

LP15311-1   Acetaldehyde
Acetaldehyde is a paraldehyde metabolite. Paraldehyde is a Schedule IV depressant used most frequently in a hospital setting to treat delirium tremers associated with alcohol withdrawl. Paraldehyde is sometimes used to treat certain convulsive disorders, including status epilepticus. Paraldehyde causes the patient's breath to have a strong, characteristic unpleasant odor, which lasts about one day after stopping use of the medicine.

LP7238-1   Body fld
The LOINC "Body fld" System represents body fluids other than serum, plasma, blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid. When a LOINC term with the System "Body fld" is used, the specific specimen source or body fluid type should be reported elsewhere with the result. Where more specific terms for pleural, peritoneal, synovial fluid, etc. exist, we encourage you to use the more specific terms. In contrast to "Body fld", the System "Asp" in LOINC represents the fluid withdrawn during an aspiration procedure from an abnormal collection of fluid, such as from an abscess or cyst. "Asp" is used for abnormal fluid collections that are aspirated, while "Body fld" is used for named body fluids, such as synovial fluid or peritoneal fluid, that are not inherently pathologic.
