Protein [Mass/volume] in Serum or Plasma 2885-2
LOINC Code
| LOINC code | 2885-2 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| name | Protein [Mass/volume] in Serum or Plasma | ||||
| description | Although there is a qualitative difference between total protein in plasma and serum, the QUANTITATIVE difference is small and probably not clinically significant, therefore, system of SER/PLAS is acceptable. The protein concentration that is reported in electrophoresis is the same as that reported routinely. | ||||
| status | ACTIVE | ||||

| component | Protein | ||||
| property | MCnc = Mass Concentration | ||||
| 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 | Qn = 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 | ||||
