I agree the above contains two separate or competing thoughts which have been
intertwined:
1. Every test can be argued (thought of) as part of a domain, or class, of tests
2. Any one test result can be relevant to more than one clinical context.
So for example, the hospital categorizes and represents the
Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR)
as a "Hematology" test, while it categorizes the
C-reactive protein (CRP)
as a "Chemistry test".
Clinically, however, a patient who has an inflammatory condition such as
osteomyelitis or abscess or giant cell (temporal) arteritis or polymyalgia
rheumatica (PMR) who has had care from more than one doctor and even sometimes
a single doctor may have had one among {ESR, CRP} performed on one day and the
other performed on the same date or on a different date.
Accordingly, I can see myself wanting to create a panel called
Inflammation
and into this panel include
WBC
Platelets
ESR
CRP
but I am also aware that CRP is a marker for elevated coronary artery disease
risk and therefore I may also like the CRP to appear in a panel
Cardiac risk
which might include
glucose values (many kinds)
lipid and cholesterol values (many kinds)
CRP
smoking status (if transformed into a 'measurement')
hypertension (if transformed into a 'measurement')
family history (if transformed into a 'measurement')
