Abnormal Circulating Eicosanoid Concentration C4072901 vs Abnormal Amplitude Of Pattern Electroretinogram C4072975

Choose Abnormal Circulating Eicosanoid Concentration C4072901 when

• Unexplained inflammatory or immune activity

  Eicosanoids participate in inflammatory signaling, but an abnormal level alone does not identify the cause.

  Moderate

• Metabolic workup with sparse findings

  The supplied coding points to an unspecified metabolic disorder, not a specific diagnosis.

  Low

• Need to separate systemic from ocular findings

  Choose this concept when the evidence concerns circulating mediators rather than vision testing.

  High

Choose Abnormal Amplitude Of Pattern Electroretinogram C4072975 when

• Abnormal pattern electroretinogram

  The finding specifically describes amplitude abnormality on pattern ERG.

  High

• Suspected macular dysfunction

  Source description links the result to possible macular dysfunction, pending further testing.

  Moderate

• Suspected retinal ganglion-cell dysfunction

  Pattern ERG amplitude may suggest ganglion-cell dysfunction but does not prove its cause.

  Moderate
