LOINC Code 80683-6: G. lamblia 18S rRNA 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 Giardia lamblia 18S rRNA. 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

• Giardia lamblia 18S rRNA [Presence] in Stool by NAA with probe detection
• Giardia lamblia 18S rRNA
• Qualitative detection of nucleic acid sequences in the Giardia lamblia 18S ribosomal RNA in stool specimens by real-time PCR methods. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the submitter's test kit, xTAG® Gastrointestinal Pathogen Panel (GPP).
