LOINC Code


LOINC code11579-0
nameThyrotropin [Units/volume] in Serum or Plasma by Detection limit <= 0.05 mIU/L
descriptionThis is a so called 2nd generation test and "detection limit" given is the analytic detection limit (Functional detection limit would be higher)
statusACTIVE

Fully-Specified Name

componentThyrotropin
propertyACnc  =  Arbitrary Concentration
timePt  =  Point in time:  To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements.
systemSer/Plas
    Ser  =  Serum
    Plas  =  Plasma
scaleQn  =  Quantitative:  The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256
methodDetection limit <= 0.05 mIU/L
