This case-sensitive code system http://terminology.hl7.org/CodeSystem/referencerange-meaning defines the following codes in a Is-A heirarchy:

Lvl	Code	Display	Definition	abstract
1	type	Type	General types of reference range.	true
2	normal	Normal Range	Values expected for a normal member of the relevant control population being measured. Typically each results producer such as a laboratory has specific normal ranges and they are usually defined as within two standard deviations from the mean and account for 95.45% of this population.
2	recommended	Recommended Range	The range that is recommended by a relevant professional body.
2	treatment	Treatment Range	The range at which treatment would/should be considered.
2	therapeutic	Therapeutic Desired Level	The optimal range for best therapeutic outcomes.
3	pre	Pre Therapeutic Desired Level	The optimal range for best therapeutic outcomes for a specimen taken immediately before administration.
3	post	Post Therapeutic Desired Level	The optimal range for best therapeutic outcomes for a specimen taken immediately after administration.
1	endocrine	Endocrine	Endocrine related states that change the expected value.	true
2	pre-puberty	Pre-Puberty	An expected range in an individual prior to puberty.
2	follicular	Follicular Stage	An expected range in an individual during the follicular stage of the cycle.
2	midcycle	MidCycle	An expected range in an individual during the midcycle stage of the cycle.
