Cathepsin A [Enzymatic activity/mass] in Leukocytes 78958-6
LOINC Code
| LOINC code | 78958-6 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Cathepsin A [Enzymatic activity/mass] in Leukocytes | ||
| description | Cathepsin A enzyme activity in leukocytes is measured as part of a diagnostic work-up for galactosialidosis. Patients with galactosialidosis will have decreased activity of the protective protein as well as decreased neuraminidase and β-galactosidase activity in leukocytes (and/or fibroblasts). Sequencing of the CTSA gene is performed for detection of disease-causing mutations. | ||

| component | Cathepsin A | ||
| property | CCnt = Catalytic Content | ||
| 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 | WBC = Leukocytes | ||
| scale | Qn = 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 | ||
