LOINC Code 54163-1: CMV DNA NAA+probe DL = 200 copies/ml (U) [#/Vol]

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 Cytomegalovirus DNA. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Urine.

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 detection limit = 200 copies/mL

What it does not mean

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