Lab report/Blood count/biochemistry results
Hi,
I am translating a lab report and am struggling with the meaning of A/B/BB in some of the results, for example:
BIOQUÍMICA GENERAL
Cloro > resultado > 111/A mEq/L
Fósforo > resultado > 1.5/B mEq/L
HEMOGRAMA
Leucocitos > resultado > 0.46/BB 10^9/L
The only result I've found is that "BB" could be referring to the lymphocytes and "A/B" could be referring to the blood type but I am really not convinced by that.

Would anyone be able to lend me a hand please?

Normalmente estas indicaciones van después y no antes de las unidades de medida, por ejemplo
Cloro 111 mEq/L (elevado/alto)
Fósforo 1.5 mEq/L (bajo)
Leucocitos 0.46 10^9/L (muy bajo)
As for translation I would indicate it at the end, i.e.,
WBC 0.46 10^9/L (very low)
Cloro 111 mEq/L (elevado/alto)
Fósforo 1.5 mEq/L (bajo)
Leucocitos 0.46 10^9/L (muy bajo)
As for translation I would indicate it at the end, i.e.,
WBC 0.46 10^9/L (very low)
