LOINC long common name : Fibrin D-dimer [Mass/volume] in Cerebral spinal fluid by Latex agglutination;
LOINC short name : D Dimer CSF LA.DDU-mCnc;
LOINC description : The CSF assay is a manual, semiquantitative, slide latex agglutination assay. One
of three results are reported-- 250 ug/L (considered negative), 250-500 ug/L, or
500 ug/L. Results are in D-dimer units. The test is used to differentiate between
subarachnoid hemorrhage and other causes in CNS bleeding (positive), and a traumatic
(ie, bloody) spinal tap (negative).;
