Laboratory

dRVVT W excess phospholipid actual/normal (normalized LA confirm)

Definition

If the coagulation defect corrects with excess phospholipid, it confirms the likely presence of phospholipid antibodies and the LA syndrome. Platelets, bilayer and hexagonal phospholipids are variously used as the source of excess phospholipids and this term covers them all. The use of one term for these variations reduces mapping work for practices that import laboratory results, but laboratories that use hexagonal phospholipids and think it important to distinguish their source can use 75913-4 instead of this term.

What is LOINC code 68916-6?

LOINC code 68916-6 identifies "dRVVT W excess phospholipid actual/normal (normalized LA confirm)". If the coagulation defect corrects with excess phospholipid, it confirms the likely presence of phospholipid antibodies and the LA syndrome. Platelets, bilayer and hexagonal phospholipids are variously used as the source of excess phospholipids and this term covers them all. The use of one term for these variations reduces mapping work for practices that import laboratory results, but laboratories that use hexagonal phospholipids and think it important to distinguish their source can use 75913-4 instead of this term.

What does 68916-6 measure?

This code measures Coagulation actual/normal in PPP. It belongs to the COAG class in the LOINC classification.

What is LOINC?

LOINC (Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes) is a universal standard for identifying laboratory and clinical observations. It is maintained by the Regenstrief Institute and used worldwide for health data exchange.
