LOINC Code
| LOINC code | 79177-2 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Clostridioides difficile glutamate dehydrogenase and toxins A+B [Presence] in Stool by Rapid immunoassay | ||
| description | The detection of both C. difficile antigen (glutamate dehydrogenase, GDH) and toxins A and B in a stool specimen. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, Alere's C. diff Quik Chek Complete(R), a rapid immunoassay that screens for the presence of C. difficile GDH antigens and confirms the presence of toxigenic C. difficile by detection of toxins A and B. The Alere Quick Chek Complete assay takes 25 minutes to complete, including 15 minutes for specimen incubation and 10 minutes for reaction with substrate. | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | Clostridioides difficile glutamate dehydrogenase & toxins A+B B = Buccal | ||
| 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 | Stool = Stool = Fecal | ||
| scale | Ord = Ordinal: Ordered categorical responses, e.g., 1+, 2+, 3+; positive, negative; reactive, indeterminate, nonreactive. | ||
| method | IA.rapid | ||
Additional Names | |||
| short name | C diff GDH + toxins A+B Stl Ql IA.rapid | ||

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. | |||

| change reason | Changed Property from "ACnc" to "Pr".; 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.; The EIA method, which was always intended to cover more than just enzyme-linked immunoassay and whose display name for the long common name has always been Immunoassay, was renamed IA in order to eliminate ambiguity about whether the method has a broader meaning than just enzyme-linked immunoassay. Likewise, EIA.rapid was renamed IA.rapid. These changes were approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016; Updated genus name from Clostridium to Clostridioides based on current (2019) accepted nomenclature for this genus [PMID:27370902]. | ||
