Site-Specific Factor 14

Post-Orchiectomy Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) Lab Value

Notes

**Note 1:** Record the value of the human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) test as documented in the patient record after orchiectomy and prior to further treatment. **Note 2:** Use the same laboratory test to record values in **Site-Specific Factor 14, Post-Orchiectomy Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) Lab Value** and **Site-Specific Factor 15, Post-Orchiectomy Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) Range**. **Note 3:** Record a post-orchiectomy hCG of 20 milli-International Units (mIU/ml) as 002; record a post-orchiectomy hCG of 11,000 mIU/ml as 200. **Note 4:** Code 000 is reserved for exactly 0.0 mIU/ml (no measurable amount of hCG). Do not round tiny values down to 0.0 mIU/ml; any measured value less than or equal to 0.1 mIU/ml should be coded 001. * For values greater than 001 mIU/ml, round values to the nearest mIU/ml **Note 5:** 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 6:** If the initial post-orchiectomy hCG test remains elevated, review the subsequent tests until normalization or plateau occurs and use that test to code this field. **Note 7:** If the post-orchiectomy hCG test is done but the actual value is not stated, use code 997. **Note 8:** For rare cases that are treated prior to orchiectomy or an orchiectomy is not performed, code the initial hCG lab value in this field and not in **Site-Specific Factor 8, Pre-Orchiectomy Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) Lab Value**.
