Wording: Small (mini?) Laboratory (Lab?) Service ?

[Guest guest]

Dear Colleagues,

The medical report, translated literally from Hebrew, reads:

Small Laboratory Service:

Blood + bilirubin, without nitrites or leukocytes

What should be the correct professional wording (I don't think 'mini-lab

services' fits the bill either. Or does it?)?

Many thanks in advance for your input,

Minilab/mini-lab services sounds fine to me.

I'd say:

Blood + bilirubin, no nitrites or leukocytes.

FWIW,

Hi ,

I don't think we have enough to go on to be sure. Can you find out a bit more

about the lab in the source language? Could it be referring to a basic/limited

panel of tests rather than a small lab?

Best wishes,

Helen

Hi Helen,

It's appears as part of a section in a Summary of Illness compiled by the

hospital in question on the patient's discharge.

Here it is in context:

Auxiliary Examinations:

Chest X-Ray: Normal

ECG: Normal sinus rate, IRBBB, without acute ischemia.

Lab tests: Sodium 130, white blood cell count 14.7, neutrophils 80%, hemoglobin

10.1, CRP 26.9

Mini-Lab Services: Blood + bilirubin, no nitrites or leukocytes

Many thanks,

Morning ,

It looks like the results of a urine dipstick test for the presence of blood,

bilirubin, nitrite or leukocytes in urine. Maybe the " mini " bit means point of

care testing.

" Show Dipstick Urinalysis chart " link)

Best wishes,

Helen

Morning Helen,

Point-of-Care Testing sounds just right, in context.

Thanks very much, and have a good day,
