LOINC Code
| LOINC code | 733-6 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Variant lymphocytes [Presence] in Blood by Light microscopy | ||
| description | CLSI (formerly NCCLS) document "Reference Leukocyte Differential Count (Proportional) and Evaluation of Instrumental Methods", 1992, recommend the use of variant lymphocytes rather than atypical or reactive lymphocytes. | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Lymphocytes.variant | ||
| property | PrThr = 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. | ||
| 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 | Bld = Whole blood | ||
| scale | Ord = Ordinal: Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive. | ||
| method | Microscopy.light | ||

| order vs. observation | Observation | ||
Associated Observations | |||
LOINC codes that represent optional associated observation(s) for a clinical observation or laboratory test. A LOINC term may represent a single associated observation or panel containing several associated observations. | |||
History/Usage | |||
| test rank | 476 of 2000 most commonly performed tests by labs in USA | ||
| first released | |||
| last updated | 2.73 | ||
| last change type | MIN - change to field other than name | ||
| change reason | Microscopy is a better way to describe this test than manual count; The PrThr property is used for LOINC terms whose results are reported using an ordered categorical scale, regardless of whether or not an internal threshold was used to make that determination. This change was approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016. | ||
