LOINC Code 94449-6: HLA-A & B & C (class I) Ab.IgG high risk 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-A & B & C (class I) Ab.IgG high risk. 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-A and B and C (class I) IgG high risk [Identifier] in Serum or Plasma by Flow cytometry (FC)
• HLA-A & B & C (class I) Ab.IgG high risk
• Laboratories that perform HLA antibody testing often report the specific antibodies found in categories based on the "amount" of each antibody found (called mean fluorescent intensity, MFI, for the common Luminex bead method). Theoretically, the antibodies present in higher concentrations, which are more likely to react with donor antigens, will have higher MFI values. Since risk stratification based on MFI range is not standardized and the exact cutoffs vary from lab to lab, this term is intended to report those HLA antibodies found in the higher risk stratification of MFI values (For one lab this was MFI > 5000, but some laboratories use 10,000 or another value).
