HISTOPLASMA ANTIGEN, URINE
Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA)
Reporting Title: Histoploasma AG, Urine
	Test Performed At:
		Mayo Medical Laboratories to Miravista Diagnostics #90019
	Specimen Required:
		Send 2.0 mL (minimum 0.5 mL) of urine from a random urine collection.
	Laboratory Notes:
		Send 2.0 mL (minimum 0.5 mL) of urine in a plastic, 13-mL urine tube refrigerated.
	Reference Values:
		Result		Interpretation		Comment
		None detected		Negative		Antigen not detected
		<0.6-3.9 ng/mL		Positive, low		Results reported as <0.6 ng/mL are positive but below the lowest calibrator and cannot be quantified.
		4.0-19.9 ng/mL		Positive, moderate		Quantitation is most accurate in this are of the calibration curve.
		20.0->39 ng/mL		Positive, high		Results >39 ng/mL are above the highest calibrator and cannot be quantified. Suggest monitoring antigenemia if antigenuria >39 ng/mL
		Follow-up Testing Result Interpretation Section:
			Guidelines for comparing current specimen results with previous results (only results from identical specimen types can be compared).
		For Low-Moderate Positives (<20 ng/mL):
		Change is Ag			Interpretation
		>3 ng/mL increase			Probable treatment failure/relapse
		<3 ng/mL decrease			Possible treatment failure
		>3 ng/mL decrease			Probable treatment response
		For High Positives (>20 ng/mL):
		Change in Ag			Interpretation
		>15% increase			Probable treatment failure/relapse
		<15% decrease			Possible treatment failure
		>15% decrease			Probable treatment response
