Arbitrary substance ratio (arb.subst.ratio)
Abbreviation |
Arb.subst.ratio | ||
---|---|---|---|
Definition in words |
Arbitrary substance ratio of component B in system 1 | ||
Definition by equation |
Note 1: Component B is the quotient of component F and component G Note 2: Component F ≠ Component G (≠ = “not equal to”) Note 3: Component F ∉ Component G (∉ = “is not an element of”) |

Result type |
Rational scale |

Numerical values from 0-∞ |
Unit |
International unit (IU) or procedure defined unit (p.d.u.) (non-SI units). | ||
Special rule(s) in the NPU syntax |
“Procedure” is stated in the specification to the kind-of-property in the NPU definition. “Procedure” indicates that the measurement procedure must be stated somewhere else than the NPU code and there may be difficulties in comparing values for the same NPU code. If the unit is an International Unit (IU), an international certified reference material (e.g. WHO reference material) is specified in the specification to the kind-of-property. If there exist no international certified reference material, the laboratory can specify the unit at the placeholder, procedure defined unit. |

Clinical Chemistry |
Generic abbreviated form | NPU53987 P—Aldosterone/renin; arb.subst.ratio(IRP 68/356; proc.) = ? nmol/IU |
Full form with a result | NPU53987 Plasma—Aldosterone/renin; arbitrary substance ratio(IRP 68/356; procedure) = 20 nanomol per International Unit | |
Abbreviated form with a result | NPU53987 P—Aldosterone/renin; arb.subst.ratio(IRP 68/356; proc.) = 20 nmol/IU | |
Written expression | The arbitrary substance ratio of Aldosterone/renin in Mrs. Smith’s plasma is [20] nmol/IU. The measurement is performed according to a procedure defined be the laboratory. “IU” and its magnitude is defined by the Certified Reference Material, IRP 68/356 from WHO. | |
