LOINC Code 80681-0: C. parvum+hominis oocyst wall protein COWP gene NAA+probe Ql (Stl)

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 Cryptosporidium parvum+hominis oocyst wall protein (COWP) gene. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Stool.

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

• Cryptosporidium parvum+hominis oocyst wall protein COWP gene [Presence] in Stool by NAA with probe detection
• Cryptosporidium parvum+hominis oocyst wall protein (COWP) gene
• Qualitative detection of nucleic acid sequences in the Cryptosporidium oocyst wall protein (COWP) gene of C parvum and C hominis in stool specimens by PCR-based methods. This assay does not differentiate between the two species. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's test kit, xTAG® Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel (GPP).
