LOINC Code 107160-4: Phase angle Xc/R [Ratio] Bioelectrical impedance analysis

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 Phase angle Xc/R. It is commonly used with the system or sample type ^Patient.

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: BIA

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Phase angle Xc/R [Ratio] Bioelectrical impedance analysis
• Phase angle Xc/R
• Phase angel (PhA) is obtained as a ratio between the raw measures resistance (R) and reactance (Xc) from bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). PhA has been considered a predictor of disease severity in clinical conditions, such as malnutrition and increased nutritional risk
• Point in time; QNT; Quan; Quant; Quantitative; R prime; Random; Ratios; Right; Rto

Where you may see this code

You may see this code in lab systems, lab reports, EHR exports, interoperability feeds, or other structured clinical data exchanges.
