It can be used as a column name when converting a dataset from a vertical to a horizontal format. The value in LBTESTCD cannot be longer than 8 characters, nor can it start with a number (e.g., "1TEST" is not valid). LBTESTCD cannot contain characters other than letters, numbers, or underscores. Examples: "ALT", "LDH".
9 LB LBTEST Lab Test or Examination Name Char C67154 Synonym Qualifier Req Verbatim name of the test or examination used to obtain the measurement or finding.

The LBBDAGNT variable is used to indicate that there is a binding relationship between the entities in the LBTEST and LBBDAGNT variables, regardless of direction. \n LBBDAGNT is not a method qualifier. It should only be used when the actual interest of the measurement is the binding interaction between the 2 entities in LBTEST and LBBDAGNT. In other words, the combination of LBTEST and LBBDAGNT should describe the thing, the entity, or the analyte being measured, without the need for additional variables. \n The binding agent may be (but is not limited to) a test article, a portion of the test article, a related compound, or an endogenous molecule.
