LOINC Code 70051-8: Multiple inhalant allergen IgE IA Ql (S)

70051-8 is a LOINC code used to identify Multiple inhalant allergen IgE IA Ql (S) in laboratory and clinical observation data. You may see this code in lab systems, lab reports, EHR exports, interoperability feeds, or other structured clinical data exchanges. LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Multiple inhalant allergen Ab.IgE. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Ser.

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 Multiple inhalant allergen Ab.IgE. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Ser.

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: IA

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

Multiple inhalant allergen IgE Ab [Presence] in Serum by Immunoassay
Multiple inhalant allergen Ab.IgE
This term was created for (but not limited to) Siemen's Immulite 2000 AlaTOP allergy screen, a chemiluminescent enzyme-labeled sequential immunoassay used to qualitatively detect IgE antibodies specific to inhalant allergens in serum. The AlaTOP constituents usually include the following 12 allergensDermatophagoides pteronyssinus (dust mite), cat epithelium, dog dander, Cynodon dactylon (Bermuda grass), Phleum pretense (timothy grass), Penicillium notatum, Alternaria tenuis, Ambrosia artemisiifolia (common ragweed), Plantago lanceolata (English plantain), Parietaria officinalis (wall pelitory), Betula papyrifera (paper birch), and Cryptomeria japonica (Japanese cedar) (Source: http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/hhe/reports/pdfs/2005-0248-3077.pdf) The Phadiatop assay has a fixed set of allergens that is not stated by the manufacturer (http://www.jiaci.org/issues/vol15issue02/7.pdf), but probably contains a similar subset of components. Test results are determined by the calculation of a signal to cutoff (S/CO) ratio, which is calculated automatically by the instrument. The results are reported as indeterminate (ratio between 0.9 and <1.1), reactive (ratio of >=1.1) and nonreactive (ratio of < 0.9).
