LOINC code72318-9
name
descriptionCentromere protein A (CENP-A) IgG class autoantibodies can be detected by enzyme immunoassays. Results may be interpreted by humans or automated methods and used for the diagnosis of system sclerosis (SSc, diffuse and limited forms) and overlapping syndromes. This code was created for, but not limited to, the detection of CENP-A autoantibodies in Euroimmun's Systemic Sclerosis (Nucleoli) Profile EUROLINE (IgG) test kit.

componentCentromere protein A Ab.IgG
propertyPrThr  =  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.
timePt  =  Point in time:  To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements.

    Ser  =  Serum
    Plas  =  Plasma
scaleOrd  =  Ordinal:  Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive.
methodIA  =  Immunoassay:  Encompasses all immunoassays with a few exceptions, including Immune Blot and Immune Fluorescence, which were created based on historic usage.
