Part Descriptions
LP16359-9 Complement C3
The complement system is a key part of the immune system and inflammatory response. The system has three pathways: 1) the classic pathway, 2) the alternative pathway, and 3) the lectin activation pathway. Complement C3 is involved in the activation of both the classical and alternate complement pathways. It is the most concentrated of the complement members and is composed of 5 subunits: C3a, C3b, C3c, C3d and C3 d. Decreased levels of C3 is associated with disease inactivation in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and may also be associated with acute glomerulonephritis, immune complex disease, septic shock, and end-stage liver disease. PMID: 6433145 PMID: 3295544 Complement tests measure either the quantity or the activity (function) of complement proteins. In some cases, complement proteins are present but not functional, in which case a functional assay is used to detect the deficiency.

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 In contrast to "Body fld", the System "Asp" in LOINC represents the fluid withdrawn during an aspiration procedure from an abnormal collection of fluid, such as from an abscess or cyst.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.
