Abbrev NL>EN BSE (context: haematology)

[Guest guest]

A list of tests to be performed for haemochromatosis includes the

abbreviation BSE in the " haematology " column. I'm skeptical that this is

" the " BSE, but what else could it be? Web searches are pretty fruitless,

given all the references to mad cow disease that turn up!

Here's the full list of haematological tests in the original Dutch, for

context:

Hb

HB/Ht

erythrocyten

MCV/MCH/MCHC

trombocyten

leucocyten

leucocyten differentiatie

*BSE*

reticulocyten

FEP osm. resistentie ery.

LAP-score

HLA B27

blgr/Rhesus/scr.imas.

DAT

BSE is the only one I'm concerned about. Any thoughts by late Wednesday

(European time) would be most appreciated.

Hi ,

From the context given, I would expect BSE to expand into

" bezinkingssnelheid van erytrocyten " , or ESR.
