LOINC display name : Alpha defensins 1 2 3 IA Ql (Syn fld);
LOINC long common name : Alpha defensins 1 2 3 [Presence] in Synovial fluid by Immunoassay;
LOINC short name : Alpha defensins 1 2 3 Snv Ql IA;
LOINC description : Qualitative detection of human neutrophil peptide-1, -2, and -3, also known as alpha
defensins 1-3, in synovial fluid by immunoassay methods, such as ELISA or lateral
flow assay, for the diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI). This assay
detects but does not differentiate between the three HNP peptides. This term was created
for, but not limited in use to, Zimmer Biomet Diagnostics Synovasure Alpha Defensin
ELISA and Lateral Flow Test kits. The Synovasure Lateral flow test utilizes the same
anti-microbial peptide as the ELISA test to detect the immune response to infection,
but the Lateral Flow returns results in 10 minute whereas the ELISA typically has
a 24-48 hour result turnaround.;
