Mean platelet component [Mass/volume] in Blood by calculation   76683-2

LOINC Code


LOINC code76683-2
nameMean platelet component [Mass/volume] in Blood by calculation
descriptionThis term was created for, but not limited in use to, the Siemens Advia 120 Hematology system, which provides an approximate measure of the mean refractive index (RI) of platelets reported as MPC.
statusACTIVE

Fully-Specified Name

componentMean platelet component
propertyMCnc  =  Mass 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.
systemBld  =  Whole blood
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
methodCalculated
