Deprecated
Status Information
- Status
- DEPRECATED
- Comment
- Based on extensive review of mappings and usage across Canada, Canada Health Infoway found that the limited use LABORDER codes are not being used. CHI and the Laboratory LOINC Committee agreed that these codes should be deprecated in order to minimize inadvertent mapping of observations to these terms (as has been reported).
| Map-To | Long Common Name | Mapping Guidance |

| 4622-7 | Hemoglobin S [Presence] in Blood by Electrophoresis acid (pH 6.3) | |
| 4623-5 | Hemoglobin S [Presence] in Blood by Electrophoresis alkaline (pH 8.9) | |
| 6864-3 | Hemoglobin S [Presence] in Blood by Solubility test |
Term Description
Created ONLY for ORDERING in response to request from Canada Health Infoway- a national standardization effort. The dashes in this case mean that the ordering provider does not care what property or scale is used in the observation performed in response to this order. LOINC is still pondering details about how this kind of item should be represented. So the representation might change in the future, but the term will still have the same usage and meaning.
Part Description
LP16455-5 Hemoglobin S
Hemoglobin S (HbS) is a variant form of hemoglobin found in people with sickle cell disease. The Hb S variant occurs primarily among people of African, Hispanic, and Mediterranean descent. Hb S has a variation in the β-chain gene that causes a change in the properties of hemoglobin, resulting in abnormal, rigid, sickling shape of red blood cells. Individuals with two copies of the Hb S variant have classic sickle cell disease (sickle cell anemia, HbSS). Individuals with one HbS variant and one normal hemoglobin, Hb A, have sickle cell trait (HbAS) and usually have no associated symptoms. Hemoglobins exhibit different migration patterns in alkaline versus acidic electrophoresis conditions. So a combination of 2 procedures can be used in tandem to identify the hemoglobin variants.
