75506-6

Laboratory

aPTT.lupus sensitive W excess phospholipid (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 platelets or hexagonal phospholipids and think it important to distinguish their source can use 3284-7 or 3282-1, respectively, instead of this term.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is LOINC code 75506-6?

LOINC code 75506-6 identifies "aPTT.lupus sensitive W excess phospholipid (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 platelets or hexagonal phospholipids and think it important to distinguish their source can use 3284-7 or 3282-1, respectively, instead of this term.

What does 75506-6 measure?

This code measures Coagulation 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.
