Description

Hi,
I am doing research using the MIMIC dataset surrounding Heparin-Induced Thrombocytopenia. I could only find two labs named 'HIT-Ab interpreted Result' and 'HIT-Ab Numerical Result.' Is there a way to identify what these labs and the other labs in this dataset are testing? There are no ICD codes associated with these labs, and I don't want to assume what these labs and their associated values represent. Thank you!
