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.

Key facts

Porphyrin fractions panel [Moles/volume] - Serum or Plasma

Porphyrin fractions panel

Determination of porphyrin profile in serum or plasma is performed to evaluate porphyria. As with urine, it is most useful to measure the total amount of porphyrins. If increased, then the laboratory may determine which porphyrins predominate to identify the presence and nature of the porphyrin defect. A summary of the different porphyria disorders, the genes where mutations occur and the associated symptoms is given inhttp://www.porphyria-europe.com/02-for-healthcare/the-porphyrias.asp.
