Fibrin D-dimer DDU [Mass/volume] in Cerebral spinal fluid by Latex agglutination   42727-8

LOINC Code


LOINC code42727-8
nameFibrin D-dimer DDU [Mass/volume] in Cerebral spinal fluid by Latex agglutination
descriptionThe CSF assay is a manual, semiquantitative, slide latex agglutination assay. One of three results are reported-- <250 ug/L (considered negative), 250-500 ug/L, or >500 ug/L. Results are in D-dimer units. The test is used to differentiate between subarachnoid hemorrhage and other causes in CNS bleeding (positive), and a traumatic (ie, bloody) spinal tap (negative).

Fully-Specified Name

componentFibrin D-dimer DDU
propertyMCnc  =  Mass 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.
systemCSF  =  Cerebral spinal fluid
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
methodLA  =  Latex Agglutination
