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.

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 Coagulation. It is commonly used with the system or sample type PPP.

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: Coag.surface induced.factor substitution

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

aPTT.factor sensitive in Platelet poor plasma by Coagulation assay

Coagulation

Factor substitution aPTT assays may be used to investigate prolonged conventional aPTT results. Factor substitution reagents are sensitive to deficiencies in factor VIII, IX, XI and XII. If the factor substitution aPTT result is prolonged, then further testing, including individual assays for each factor, are performed to determine the specific etiology of the clotting disorder.
