Note 1 Physician Statement

Physician statement of the hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) Post-Orchiectomy Range can be used to code this data item when there is no other information available.

Note 2 Timing

Record the range of the hCG test as documented in the medical record after orchiectomy but prior to adjuvant therapy. The lab value may be documented in a lab report, history and physical, or clinical statement in the pathology report.

Note 3 Lab values elevated after orchiectomy

If the initial post-orchiectomy hCG remains elevated, review subsequent tests and record the lowest hCG value (normalization or plateau) prior to adjuvant therapy or before the value rises again.

Note 4 Pre-orchiectomy hCG normal

If the pre-orchiectomy hCG was normal, a post-orchiectomy hCG may not be performed. In this case, code 5 should be recorded.

Note 5 Related Data Item

The same laboratory test should be used to record the related data item 3846 hCG Post-Orchiectomy Lab Value.
