| name | Cold agglutinin [Presence] in Serum by 22 degree C incubation | ||
| description | Cold agglutinins are usually determined at refrigerator temperatures (4 degrees C). In positive cases, surgeons may request testing at additional temperatures, including 18 degrees C, room temperature (22 degrees C), and 28 degrees C, to determine how cold the patient's body temperature can be dropped during surgery. In cardiovascular surgery, the heart is cooled to 25°C to slow down metabolic processes. Since the blood of patients with a history of cold antibodies or cold hemagglutinin disease (such as Raynaud's) is likely to contain cold antibodies, such as anti-M, anti-I and anti-I, testing at various temperatures is performed in order to prevent an acute hemolytic episode. | ||

Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Cold agglutinin | ||
| property | PrThr = Present or threshold: The Property PrThr stands for “Presence or Threshold”, meaning either a) the actual presence or absence of an analyte, or b) that the amount of analyte detected is over some predetermined threshold. | ||
| 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 | Ser = Serum | ||
| scale | Ord = Ordinal: Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive. | ||
| method | 22 deg C incubation | ||

| last change type | MIN - change to field other than name | ||
| change reason | The PrThr property is used for LOINC terms whose results are reported using an ordered categorical scale, regardless of whether or not an internal threshold was used to make that determination. This change was approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016. | ||
