LOINC Code 93237-6: Coagulation actual/normal (PPP) [Relative time]

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 Coagulation actual/Normal. It is commonly used with the system or sample type PPP.

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: Coag.surface induced.lupus sensitive.excess phospholipid.post heparin neutralization

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• aPTT.lupus sensitive.excess phospholipid post heparin neutralization actual/normal in Platelet poor plasma by Coagulation assay
• Coagulation actual/Normal
• Normalized, confirmatory lupus sensitive aPTT measured after heparin neutralization, which removes the effects of any heparin that may be present in the sample. Heparin neutralization methods include the addition of heparinase, an enzyme that breaks down heparin, and heparin adsorption, in which a substance is added that binds the heparin that is present.
