LOINC Code 94554-3: Soluble CD14 Subtype (Presepsin) IA (S/P/Bld) [Mass/Vol]

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 Soluble CD14 subtype. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Ser/Plas/Bld.

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: Both
• Method: IA

What it does not mean

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

Key facts

• Soluble CD14 subtype [Mass/volume] in Serum, Plasma or Blood by Immunoassay
• Soluble CD14 subtype
• Quantitative mass concentration of soluble CD14-subtype (sCD14-ST, also known as Presepsin) in whole blood, serum or plasma for the diagnosis and prognosis of sepsis and to monitor the course of the disease. This test may be performed on neonates or immunosupressed patients (e.g. post-transplantation) in which other inflammation markers (e.g. IL-6, CRP, procalcitonin) are elevated due to other factors, including post-surgery systemic inflammatory response or administration of anti-thymocyte globulin.
