LOINC Code 77395-2: HPV 18 DNA NAA+probe Ql (Anorectal)

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 Human papilloma virus 18 DNA. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Anorectal.

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

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Human papilloma virus 18 DNA [Presence] in Anorectal by NAA with probe detection
• Human papilloma virus 18 DNA
• This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Abbott RealTime High Risk HPV test kit which detects 14 high risk HPV genotypes through a primer mix targeting a conserved region of HPV genomes and single-stranded DNA probes. The assay differentiates between HPV 16, HPV 18 and non-HPV 16/18 genotypes (other HR HPV).
