What is this code?

LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Albumin.glycated/Albumin.total. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Ser/Plas.

When is it used?

• Used in lab systems, EHRs, and clinical data exchange.
• May identify a test, observation, survey item, or clinical document request rather than a diagnosis.
• Status: ACTIVE
• Order vs observation: Observation
• Method: IA

What it does not mean

• The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

• Albumin.glycated/Albumin.total [Molar ratio] in Serum or Plasma by Immunoassay
• Albumin.glycated/Albumin.total
• This term measures glycated albumin, which reflects glucose bound to lysine residues in albumin, is performed using an enzymatic assay with the Asahi Kasei reagent kit. The assay has been internationally standardized against a Certified Reference Material, with results reported in mmol/mol. This standardized method can be run on the Cobas c503 analyzer, offering a reliable and consistent approach to glycated albumin quantification for clinical use.
