Percent heparin inhibition [Ratio] in Serum   73817-9

LOINC Code


LOINC code73817-9
namePercent heparin inhibition [Ratio] in Serum
descriptionThe percent inhibition by heparin is determined by adding excess heparin (high-dose heparin) to the patient's serum. Testing is performed to increase the specificity of the assay and confirm a positive heparin induced antibody result. Inhibition of a positive result by 50% or more reduction in the optical density is considered confirmatory and characteristic of Type II heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) antibodies.

componentPercent heparin inhibition
propertyRatio
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
