LOINC Code


LOINC code72160-5
nameHolo-transcobalamin II [Moles/volume] in Serum
descriptionThe fraction of vitamin B12 bound to transcobalamin II (TC-II), normally <30% of the total, is considered the "active" fraction available to cells. There have been claims in the literature that measurement of specifically the "active" fraction is an earlier indicator of deficiency, although as of 2011 this claim is reported to be controversial (Am J Clin Nutr. 2011 Jul;94(1):348S-358S. Epub 2011 May 18).

propertySCnc  =  Substance 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.
systemSer  =  Serum
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
