LOINC Code 72561-4: CK aberrant band Elph [Pure 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 Creatine kinase.aberrant band/Creatine kinase.total. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Ser/Plas.

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
• Method: Electrophoresis

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Creatine Kinase aberrant band/Creatine kinase.total [Pure catalytic fraction] in Serum or Plasma by Electrophoresis
• Creatine kinase.aberrant band/Creatine kinase.total
• Because of the confusion that occurs in countries that report results as both decimal fraction and percent, this property was created to represent decimal fractions that are reported without units.
