This tool looks up a LOINC code in NLM Clinical Tables and returns guidance on where to obtain a LOINC → SNOMED CT mapping. It does not perform the mapping. Direct LOINC → SNOMED CT mappings are not freely available via API. UMLS Metathesaurus contains the relationships but requires an individual UMLS Terminology Services license; the LOINC SNOMED CT Expression Association is published by Regenstrief Institute as part of the LOINC release and requires authenticated download from loinc.org under the LOINC license. For programmatic LOINC → SNOMED mapping, use UMLS or the LOINC Expression Association files. For interactive lookup, use the SNOMED CT browser available to your organization or the Regenstrief RELMA desktop tool. Provide a LOINC code like "2339-0" (Glucose) or "718-7" (Hemoglobin).
