LOINC display name : Erythrocytes.CD59 complete loss/Cells.235a (Bld);
LOINC long common name : Erythrocytes.CD59 complete loss/Erythrocytes in Blood;
LOINC short name : RBC CD59 complete loss NFr;
LOINC description : This assay measures the percent of red blood cells that have complete loss of the
CD59 antigen. The loss of CD59 is associated with paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria
(PNH), and patients with complete loss of CD59 are more likely to have hemolysis compared
to patients with partial loss of CD59.;
