Official URL: https://fhir.nwgenomics.nhs.uk/CodeSystem/Histotrac Version: 2.2.0
Active as of 2026-09-04 Computable Name: Histotrac

Local test-order codes from Histotrac, the Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics LIMS - see Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics, HLA Tests - Transplant Ask At Order Entry and Chimerism Test Additional Ask At Order Entry Questions. Sourced as HL7 v2 CE (coded element)-style code^text^codingSystem strings, both from the HISTOTRACEAP coding system:

  • XTRANSPX_HLAAS^HLA ANTIBODY SCREENING^HISTOTRACEAP
  • CHIMBTP^CHIMERISM TESTING - PERFORMABLE^HISTOTRACEAP

These are the raw LIMS test-order codes, distinct from the local NWGMSA answer options (e.g. HLAAntibodyScreening, ChimerismPeripheralBlood) used on the Ask At Order Entry Questionnaires' own order-entry choice items - those model the order-entry UI selection, these are what Histotrac itself calls the resulting order.
