Summary
This is a Proprietary Laboratory Analyses (PLA) code, meaning that the code applies to only one unique lab test made by a specific manufacturer or performed by a specific lab. Report 0542U only for myOLARIS™–KTdx from Olaris® Inc. This test helps monitor kidney transplant health by analyzing urine samples for 84 different metabolic substances. It also combines patient data and checks for the BK virus, a virus that can affect kidney function, using real–time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing and measures kidney function with a serum creatinine test. The results provide a probability score indicating the likelihood of kidney transplant injury.
