Protein [Presence] in Urine by SSA method   53525-2

LOINC Code


LOINC code53525-2
nameProtein [Presence] in Urine by SSA method
descriptionThe addition of sulfosalicylic acid (SSA) to urine causes the precipitation of protein. The SSA reaction will detect albumin, globulins, and Bence-Jones proteins.
statusACTIVE

Fully-Specified Name

componentProtein
propertyPrThr  =  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.
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.
systemUrine
scaleOrd  =  Ordinal:  Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive.
