Summary

This is an administrative multianalyte assay with algorithmic analysis (MAAA) code represented by a proprietary name in CPT® Appendix O, meaning that the code applies to only one unique lab test made by a specific manufacturer or performed by a specific lab. Report 0018M only for PleximarkTM, from Plexision Inc., to evaluate a whole peripheral blood specimen from a kidney transplant patient for CD154+T–cytotoxic memory cell levels. Coupled with patient data and an algorithmic analysis, test results indicate risk for transplant rejection and can guide decisions for surveillance or “for cause” biopsies.
