LOINC Code
| LOINC code | 79182-2 | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| name | RNA polymerase III IgG Ab [Units/volume] in Serum or Plasma by Immunoassay | ||
| description | A semi-quantitative measurement of IgG RNA polymerase III antibodies in serum by immunoassay methods. In conjunction with other laboratory and clinical findings, the test aids in the diagnosis of systemic sclerosis (SSc, scleroderma) with an increased incidence of skin involvement and renal crisis. This term was created for, but not limited in use to, the QUANTA Lite(R) RNA Pol III ELISA. | ||
| status | ACTIVE | ||
Fully-Specified Name | |||
| component | RNA polymerase III Ab.IgG | ||
| property | ACnc = Arbitrary Concentration | ||
| 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 | Ser/Plas Ser = Serum Plas = Plasma | ||
| 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 | ||
| method | IA = Immunoassay: Encompasses all immunoassays with a few exceptions, including Immune Blot and Immune Fluorescence, which were created based on historic usage. | ||
Additional Names | |||
| short name | RNAp III IgG SerPl IA-aCnc | ||

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. | |||

| last change type | MIN - change to field other than name | ||
| change reason | 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. | ||
