LP18191-4   Prostaglandin F2 alpha
Prostaglandins are fatty acids derived from arachidonic acid metabolism. They are closely related to the Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes. Prostaglandin F2a is derived mainly from Prostaglandins E2 and H2, and is metabolized to Dihydroketo Prostaglandin F2a. Prostaglandin F2a is excreted directly into the urine. Prostaglandin F2a contracts the circular muscle of the gut in opposition to the Prostaglandins of the E series. Prostaglandin F2a causes accumulation of water and electrolytes in the lumen of the gut by stimulating their secretion. It also inhibits glucose absorption. Prostaglandin F2a has luteolytic actions in the corpus luteum. Elevated levels of Prostaglandin F2a have been found in the spinal fluid of children with febrile convulsions and menningitis. Elevated levels of Prostaglandin F2a have been detected in patients with the Watery Diarrhea Syndrome, neural crest tumors, pheochromocytomas, and other amine-peptide-secreting tumors. Prostaglandin F2a production and circulating levels are drastically suppressed by aspirin and indomethacin. Source: Inter Science Institute , Inter Science Institute

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 In contrast to "Body fld", the System "Asp" in LOINC represents the fluid withdrawn during an aspiration procedure from an abnormal collection of fluid, such as from an abscess or cyst.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.
