LOINC Code 68463-9: Rilpivirine Genotyping [Susc]

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 Rilpivirine. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Isolate.

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

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Rilpivirine [Susceptibility] by Genotype method
• Rilpivirine
• This test refers to sequence-based genotyping of HIV in human plasma infected with the virus to identify genotypic resistance to Rilpivirine. The assay involves the isolation of HIV RNA from blood plasma and amplification of the protease and reverse transcriptase genes. The PCR product is sequenced and analyzed. Genotypic characteristics of the virus are used to predict resistance to Rilipvirine.
