LOINC Code 89876-7: MTB complex rifAMPin and isoniazid resistance panel Molgen (Islt/Spec)

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 Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex rifAMPin & isoniazid resistance panel. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Isolate/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: Order
• Panel type: Panel
• Method: Molgen

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• MTB complex rifAMPin and isoniazid resistance panel by Molecular genetics method
• Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex rifAMPin & isoniazid resistance panel
• This panel contains the results for the detection of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) complex rifampicin (RIF) and isoniazid (INH) resistance in isolates or direct clinical specimens by molecular testing. The assay detects resistance-conferring mutations in native genes, including rpoB (rifampicin), katG (isoniazid) and inhA (isoniazid). The presence or absence of various mutations is used to predict resistance, including low or high-level resistance, to these drugs.
