LOINC long common name : Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis multigene analysis in Blood or Tissue by Molecular
genetics method;
LOINC short name : HLH multigene analysis Bld/T;
LOINC description : Multigene analysis for hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a syndrome characterized
by hyperactivation of the immune system, excessive cytokine secretion and severe systemic
inflammation. HLH is classified as familial (FHL) when associated with mutations in
specific genes, such as PRF1, UNC13D, STX11, and STXBP2 genes.[PMID: 33746956] Testing
is performed for diagnostic, prognostic, and therapeutic assessment in patients with
HLH.;
