What does this LOINC code represent?

This LOINC code identifies a lab observation, measurement, question, or clinical concept in a standardized format.

Is this enough to understand my test result?

No. The code identifies the test or observation, but the interpretation depends on the actual result, reference range, and clinical context.

LOINC Code 85532-0: FLUAV whole genome sequence Nom (Isol)

Name: LOINC Code 85532-0: FLUAV whole genome sequence Nom (Isol)
Creator: HealthAssure Clinical Team
Published: 2026-05-21T09:00:13.315Z

85532-0 is a LOINC code used to identify FLUAV whole genome sequence Nom (Isol) 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 Influenza virus A whole genome. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Isolate.

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 Influenza virus A whole genome. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Isolate.

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: Sequencing

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

Influenza virus A whole genome [Nucleotide sequence] in Isolate by Sequencing

Influenza virus A whole genome

The Influenza A virus genome is contained on eight RNA segments. Segments 1-3 encode RNA polymerase subunits (segment 1 - PB2, segment 2 - PB1 and the PB1-F2 protein and segment 3 - PA). Segment 4 encodes for hemagglutinin (HA). HA is a determinant in the severity of a viral infection. Segment 5 encodes a nucleoprotein (NP) Segment 6 encodes neuraminidase (NA) Segment 7 encodes two matrix proteins (M1 and M2) Segment 8 encodes two distinct non-structural proteins (NS1 and NEP) Segments that encode multiple proteins due so by using different reading frames from the same RNA segment. [PMID19230160The result of this test is the raw amino acid sequence of the virus.
