LOINC Code
| LOINC code | 83073-7 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Alpha-1-Fetoprotein [Mass/volume] in Serum or Plasma by Immunoassay | ||
| description | This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, bioMerieux's VIDAS AFP assay, which is intended for the quantitative measurement of alpha feto-protein (AFP) in serum, plasma, or amniotic fluid. | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Alpha-1-Fetoprotein | ||
| property | MCnc = Mass Concentration | ||
| 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. | ||
