hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Pre-Orchiectomy Range
Notes
**Note 1:** Physician statement of the hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Pre-Orchiectomy Range can be used to code this data item when no other information is available. **Note 2:** Record the range of the highest hCG test result documented in the medical record **prior to orchiectomy** or prior to any systemic treatment. The lab value may be documented in a lab report, history and physical, or clinical statement in the pathology report. **Note 3:** A lab value expressed in International Units/liter (IU/L) is equivalent to the same value expressed in milli-International Units/milliliter (mIU/mL). **Note 4:** The same laboratory test should be used to record information in 3848: hCG Pre-orchiectomy Lab Value.| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | Within normal limits |
| 1 | Above normal and less than 5,000 milli-International Units/milliliter (mIU/mL) |
| 2 | 5,000 - 50,000 mIU/mL |
| 3 | Greater than 50,000 mIU/mL |
| 4 | Pre-orchiectomy human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) stated to be elevated |
| 7 | Test ordered, results not in chart |
| 8 | Not applicable: Information not collected for this case (If this information is required by your standard setter, use of code 8 may result in an edit error.) |
| 9 | Not documented in medical record hCG Pre-Orchiectomy range not assessed or unknown if assessed |
