LOINC short name : Neut PMA stim DHR Pnl Patient FC;
LOINC description : The phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) stimulated neutrophil dihydrorhodamine (DHR) test
assesses neutrophil activation and NADPH oxidase function. This test is used to diagnose
chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) and complete myeloperoxidase deficiency; monitor
chimerism and NADPH oxidase function after stem cell transplant, assess NADPH oxidase
activity prior to transplant; and identify and monitor chromosome X inactivation changes
with age in carrier females with X-linked CGD. To report results for the N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine
(fMLP) stimulated neutrophil DHR test, use [LOINC: 98123-3]. To report results for
the fMLP and PMA stimulated neutrophil DHR test, use [LOINC: 98122-5].;
