LOINC display name : aPTT.lupus sensitive.excess phospholipid Coag (PPP) [Time];
LOINC long common name : aPTT.lupus sensitive W excess phospholipid (LA confirm);
LOINC short name : Confirm aPTT;
LOINC description : 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.;
