Hepatitis D virus RNA:LaCnc:Pt:Ser:Qn:Probe.amp.tarLOINC code
Preferred Label : Hepatitis D virus RNA:LaCnc:Pt:Ser:Qn:Probe.amp.tar;
LOINC status : ACTIVE;
LOINC display name : HDV RNA NAA probe (S) [Log units/Vol];
LOINC long common name : Hepatitis D virus RNA [log units/volume] (viral load) in Serum by NAA with probe detection;
LOINC short name : HDV RNA Ser NAA probe-Log IU;
LOINC description : HDV screening of all Chronic Hepatitis B (CHB) patients is recommended and HDV viral
load (HDVL) detection and measurement should be considered whether or not the patients
already have antibodies to HDV. In CHB patients, HDV can occur as a co-infection or
superinfection and the course of the disease may be accelerated. [PMID: 24293018]
This term was created for, but is not limited in use to, ARUP Laboratories' Hepatitis
Delta Virus Quantitative Real Time RT-PCR assay. The viral load is reported in IU/mL.
The IU conversion factor, as determined by validation, is 1 IU/mL 138 copies/mL.;
