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 Nucleated cell dose in hematopoietic progenitor cell transfusion. It is commonly used with the system or sample type ^Patient.

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

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

Nucleated cell dose in hematopoietic progenitor cell transfusion [#/mass] per recipient body mass
Nucleated cell dose in hematopoietic progenitor cell transfusion
The total nucleated cell count (TNC) in hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPC) is an important predictor of engraftment and clinical outcomes. A TNC of at least 2.5 × 10^7 per kilogram of transplant recipient's body weight is associated with more rapid time to engraftment, decreased risk for graft failure, and improved overall survival.
