|---|---|---|---|
| name | von Willebrand factor (vWf).collagen binding activity/von Willebrand factor Ag [Ratio] in Platelet poor plasma by Immunoassay | ||
| description | This term represents a ratio of two results that are expressed as percentages of normal: the von Willebrand factor.collagen binding activity and the von Willebrand factor antigen concentration, both of which are reported as actual/Normal. The von Willebrand factor (vWF) collagen binding activity to antigen ratio can help distinguish different types of von Willebrand disease (VWD). VWD types 1 and 3 are usually associated with a quantitative decrease in vWF, which would affect both the vWF collagen binding activity as well as vWF antigen concentration, while type 2 is associated with a functional defect in VWF, which would affect the activity but not the amount of antigen present. Therefore, patients with type 2 VWD are likely to have a lower vWF collagen binding activity to antigen ratio (less than 0.5) compared to patients with types 1 or 3 VWD. | ||

Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | von Willebrand factor.collagen binding activity/von Willebrand factor Ag | ||
| property | Ratio | ||
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | ||
| system | PPP = Platelet poor plasma | ||
| scale | Qn = Quantitative: The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256 | ||
| method | IA = Immunoassay: Encompasses all immunoassays with a few exceptions, including Immune Blot and Immune Fluorescence, which were created based on historic usage. | ||

Associated Observations | |||
LOINC codes that represent optional associated observation(s) for a clinical observation or laboratory test. A LOINC term may represent a single associated observation or panel containing several associated observations. | |||

| change reason | The EIA method, which was always intended to cover more than just enzyme-linked immunoassay and whose display name for the long common name has always been Immunoassay, was renamed IA in order to eliminate ambiguity about whether the method has a broader meaning than just enzyme-linked immunoassay. Likewise, EIA.rapid was renamed IA.rapid. These changes were approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016. | ||
