What does this LOINC code represent?

This LOINC code identifies a lab observation, measurement, question, or clinical concept in a standardized format.

Is this enough to understand my test result?

No. The code identifies the test or observation, but the interpretation depends on the actual result, reference range, and clinical context.

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: Both
Method: Probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

Schistosoma sp DNA [Presence] in Urine by NAA with probe detection

Schistosoma sp DNA

This assay targets specific gene sequences unique to Schistosoma species, such as the SjR2 retrotransposon for S. japonicum, the SM1-7 tandem repeat for S. mansoni, and the Dra1 repeat sequence for S. haematobium. [PMID30274477]
