LOINC Code 2796-1: Phosphofructokinase M subunit/Total phosphofructokinase (RBC) [Catalytic fraction]

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 Phosphofructokinase.M subunit/Phosphofructokinase.total. It is commonly used with the system or sample type RBC.

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

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Phosphofructokinase M subunit/Phosphofructokinase.total in Red Blood Cells
• Phosphofructokinase.M subunit/Phosphofructokinase.total
• NFR is probably not the right property. These are probably not being tested as fractions of total phosphofructokinase.
