Parent/child properties are as defined by FHIR. Note that at this time the LOINC code system resource does not support ancestor/descendant relationships. For illustration purposes, consider this slice of the LOINC Component Hierarchy by System when reading the descriptions below: Laboratory [LP29693-6] Microbiology and Antimicrobial susceptibility [LP343406-7] Microbiology [LP7819-8] Microorganism [LP14559-6] Virus [LP14855-8] Zika virus [LP200137-0] Zika virus RNA | XXX [LP203271-4] Zika virus RNA | XXX | Microbiology [LP379670-5] Zika virus RNA [Presence] in Unspecified specimen by Probe and target amplification method [79190-5] Language Note: The filters defined here are specified using the default LOINC language - English (US).
