Part Descriptions

LP18182-3 Protein fractions.oligoclonal bands
Oligoclonal bands are bands of immunoglobulins (IgG, IgA, and IgM) analyzed by protein electrophoresis or isoelectric focusing. Oligoclonal band assays most often focus on IgG bands which have the most prognostic value. PMID: 20663418 The presence of these proteins in CSF, but not in serum, indicates they are intrathecally synthesized and suggest inflammation of the central nervous system. Oligoclonal bands may be a sign of multiple sclerosis. A patient is considered positive for cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) oligoclonal bands if there are two or more bands in the CSF immunoglobulin region that are not present in the serum. PMID: 16945427 Source: Regenstrief Institute

LP7238-1 Body fld
The LOINC "Body fld" System represents body fluids other than serum, plasma, blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid. When a LOINC term with the System "Body fld" is used, the specific specimen source or body fluid type should be reported elsewhere with the result. Where more specific terms for pleural, peritoneal, synovial fluid, etc. exist, we encourage you to use the more specific terms. In contrast to "Body fld", the System "Asp" in LOINC represents the fluid withdrawn during an aspiration procedure from an abnormal collection of fluid, such as from an abscess or cyst. "Asp" is used for abnormal fluid collections that are aspirated, while "Body fld" is used for named body fluids, such as synovial fluid or peritoneal fluid, that are not inherently pathologic.
