| name | Choriogonadotropin [Presence] in Serum or Plasma | ||||
| description | This lab test is used as pregnancy test. | ||||
| status | ACTIVE | ||||
Fully-Specified Name | |||||
| component | Choriogonadotropin | ||||
| property | PrThr = Present or threshold: The Property PrThr stands for “Presence or Threshold”, meaning either a) the actual presence or absence of an analyte, or b) that the amount of analyte detected is over some predetermined threshold. | ||||
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | ||||
| system | Ser/Plas Ser = Serum Plas = Plasma | ||||
| scale | Ord = Ordinal: Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive. | ||||

| last updated | 2.79 | ||||
| last change type | NAM - change to Analyte/Component | ||||
| change reason | Release 2.79: METHOD_TYP: changed due to changes in modeling heuristics, and in preparation for post-coordination; COMPONENT: changed due to changes in modeling heuristics, and in preparation for post-coordination; SHORTNAME: changed due to changes in modeling heuristics, and in preparation for post-coordination; LONG_COMMON_NAME: changed due to changes in modeling heuristics, and in preparation for post-coordination; Previous Releases: Clarified that the ordinal(pos/neg) test for urine and serum and are are not otherwise special (e.g multiple of the median) are usually used as pregnancy tests.; The PrThr property is used for LOINC terms whose results are reported using an ordered categorical scale, regardless of whether or not an internal threshold was used to make that determination. This change was approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016. | ||||
