Heparin induced platelet IgG Ab in Serum or Plasma by Immunoassay 73818-7
LOINC Code
| LOINC code | 73818-7 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Heparin induced platelet IgG Ab in Serum or Plasma by Immunoassay | ||
| description | Heparin induced platelet (platelet factor 4, PF4) IgG antibodies are measured in optical density as part of an immunoassay. A OD value of >0.4 is considered an initial positive test. Additional heparin may be added to the patient's serum to determine percent inhibition by heparin (see LOINC 73817-9) and confirm a positive result. | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Platelet factor 4 heparin complex induced Ab.IgG | ||
| property | OD = Optical Density | ||
| 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/Plas Ser = Serum Plas = 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. | ||

| short name | PF4 heparin cmplx IgG SerPl IA | ||

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. | |||

| last change type | MIN - change to field other than name | ||
| change reason | Changed Component core from "Platelet factor 4 polyanion (PVS) complex" to "Platelet factor 4 heparin complex induced" to align the Component for the newer terms with the existing older terms (the meaning is the same).; 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.; Updated System from "Ser" to "Ser/Plas" since this test can be performed on either serum or plasma. | ||
