Evaluating a prolonged activated partial thromboplastin time resulting from inhibition.
HIP12 | HIV-1/HIV-2 RNA Detection, Plasma
Diagnosis of HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 infection in individuals with indeterminate or inconclusive HIV serologic test results.
Diagnosis of HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 infection in individuals with acute or early HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 infection.
Diagnosis of HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 infection in infants under 18 months of age who are born to HIV-infected mothers.
HIS12 | HIV-1/HIV-2 RNA Detection, Serum
Diagnosis of HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 infection in individuals with indeterminate or inconclusive HIV serologic test results.
Diagnosis of HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 infection in individuals with acute or early HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 infection.
Diagnosis of HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 infection in infants under 18 months of age who are born to HIV-infected mothers.
HIVDI | HIV-1 and HIV-2 Antibody Confirmation and Differentiation, Serum
Confirmation and differentiation of HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies in serum specimens that show reactive results with third-(HIV-1/-2 antibody only) and 4th-generation (HIV antigen and antibody) HIV serologic assays.
Confirmation and differentiation of HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies in cadaveric blood or hemolyzed serum specimens that show reactive results with initial HIV serologic screening assays.
This test is not useful as a screening test for HIV infection in symptomatic or asymptomatic individuals. It is not to be used as a screening or confirmatory test for blood donor specimens.
This test is not useful for maternal or newborn HIV screening for specimens originating in New York State.
HIVDS | HIV-1 and HIV-2 Antigen and Antibody Diagnostic Evaluation, Serum
Diagnosing HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 infection in symptomatic patients more than 2 years old.
Follow-up testing of individuals with reactive rapid HIV test results.
This test should not be used as a screening or confirmatory test for blood donor specimens.
HIVSS | HIV-1 and HIV-2 Antigen and Antibody Routine Screen, Serum
Screening for HIV-1 and HIV-2 infection in nonsymptomatic, nonpregnant individuals older than 2 years.
This test should not be used as a screening or confirmatory test for blood donor specimens.
HPP12 | HIV-1/HIV-2 RNA Detection Prenatal, Plasma
Diagnosis of HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 infection in pregnant individuals with indeterminate or inconclusive HIV serologic test results.
Diagnosis of HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 infection in pregnant individuals in the acute or early phase of HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 infection.
HPS12 | HIV-1/HIV-2 RNA Detection Prenatal, Serum
Diagnosis of HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 infection in pregnant individuals with indeterminate or inconclusive HIV serologic test results.
Diagnosis of HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 infection in pregnant individuals in the acute or early phase of HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 infection.
HVPPS | HIV-1 and HIV-2 Antibody Confirmation and Differentiation Prenatal, Serum
Confirmation and differentiation of HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies in serum specimens from prenatal patients who show reactive results with 3rd- (HIV-1/-2 antibody only) and 4th-generation (HIV antigen and antibody) HIV serologic assays.
This test is not useful as a screening test for HIV infection in symptomatic or asymptomatic individuals.
This test should not be used as a screening or confirmatory test for blood donor specimens.
HVPRS | HIV Antigen and Antibody Prenatal Routine Screen, Serum
Screening for HIV-1 and/or HIV-2 infection in nonsymptomatic pregnant patients.
This test should not be used as a screening or confirmatory test for blood donor specimens.
MPQU | Monoclonal Protein Quantitation, 24 Hour, Urine
Monitoring patients with monoclonal gammopathies using 24-hour urine collections.
MPU | Monoclonal Protein Studies, 24 Hour, Urine
Monitoring patients with monoclonal gammopathies.
RMPQU | Monoclonal Protein Quantitation, Random, Urine
Identifying monoclonal gammopathies using random urine specimens.
RMPU | Monoclonal Protein Studies, Random, Urine
Identifying monoclonal gammopathies using random urine specimens.
RSMPU | Monoclonal Protein Screen, Random, Urine
Identifying monoclonal gammopathies using random urine specimens.
SFX | Protein S Activity, Plasma
Second-order testing for diagnosis of congenital or acquired protein S deficiency, ie, as an adjunct to initial testing based on results of protein S antigen assay (free protein S antigen, with or without total protein S antigen assay).
Evaluating patients with a history of venous thromboembolism.
SMPU | Monoclonal Protein Screen, 24 Hour, Urine
Monitoring patients with monoclonal gammopathies.
