LOINC Code 82134-8: Respiratory pathogens DNA and RNA tested NAA+probe Nom (Respiratory system specimen)

82134-8 is a LOINC code used to identify Respiratory pathogens DNA and RNA tested NAA+probe Nom (Respiratory system specimen) in laboratory and clinical observation data. You may see this code in lab systems, lab reports, EHR exports, interoperability feeds, or other structured clinical data exchanges. LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Respiratory pathogens DNA & RNA tested for. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Respiratory System Specimen.

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 Respiratory pathogens DNA & RNA tested for. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Respiratory System Specimen.

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
  • Method: Probe.amp.tar

What it does not mean

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