SourceLOINC is made available by the Regenstrief Institute at http://loinc.org
SystemThe URI http://loinc.org identifies LOINC codes
VersionWhere a version is used, it should be the standard LOINC version e.g. 2.48
CodeThe LOINC Code Identifier e.g. 21176-3. LOINC codes are not case sensitive. In addition, LOINC part codes and LOINC answer string ids can be used where appropriate
DisplayUse either the SHORTNAME or LONG_COMMON_NAME field for the display
InactiveCodes with Property STATUS = DEPRECATED are considered inactive for use in ValueSet.compose.inactive
SubsumptionLOINC defines the Multi-Axial Hierarchy, which is the basis for subsumption logic in LOINC
Filter PropertiesSeveral properties are defined as described below

LOINC FHIR Terminology Server

Regenstrief Institute provides access to LOINC's terminology content through the HL7® FHIR® API. See the LOINC FHIR Terminology Server page for details.

+

+Note that the FHIR server at fhir.loinc.org is a work in progress; where the service does not agree with the content on this page, implementers should consider +this as a problem with the LOINC service that is planned to be reconciled with this page. +

Case Sensitivity

-

For comparison purposes, LOINC codes, displays, and property values are not case sensitive, though implementers SHOULD maintain the correct case when using LOINC codes and property values.

+

+LOINC codes, property names, filter names and designation types are considered case sensitive. For comparison purposes (e.g. when executing a filter), +LOINC displays, and property values are not case sensitive, though implementers SHOULD maintain the correct case when using LOINC codes and property values. +

Use of LOINC PARTS

-

As described in the LOINC Manual section 10.2, LOINC Parts are a coded representation of a value for a dimension used to specify a LOINC Term which are assigned a non-semantic identifier with a "LP" prefix and a mod-10 check digit. Following the LOINC license, these part codes may be used in the following ways:
