Hematocrit [Pure volume fraction] of Capillary blood by calculation   71831-2

LOINC Code


LOINC code71831-2
nameHematocrit [Pure volume fraction] of Capillary blood by calculation
descriptionBecause of the confusion that occurs in countries that report results as both decimal fraction and percent, this property was created to represent decimal fractions that are reported without units.
statusACTIVE

Fully-Specified Name

componentErythrocyte/Specimen Volume
propertyVFr.DF  =  Volume Decimal Fraction
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.
systemBldC  =  Blood capillary
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

last change typeNAM  - change to Analyte/Component
change reasonRelease 2.79: COMPONENT: Triggered by Coll w SCT:Hematocrit as a component is not an adequate description for a ratio, therefore Hematocrit is kept as a synonym, and the actual component is expressed as it should be:Erythrocyte/Specimen Volume;
