LOINC Code 94437-1: HLA-DQA1 IgG FC Nom

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 HLA-DQA1 Ab.IgG. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Ser/Plas.

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: Flow cytometry

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• HLA-DQA1 IgG Ab [Identifier] in Serum or Plasma by Flow cytometry (FC)
• HLA-DQA1 Ab.IgG
• Some high specificity assays,such as the Luminex single bead system, detect epitopes at a detailed molecular allele-equivalent level. Therefore, many laboratories using this assay will report, along with the serological type, the molecular type, and also the mean fluorescence intensity (MFI) in a single answer. This term is intended to cover the existing reporting formats for HLA-DQA1 antibody specificity.
