VISD
After some research, VISD seems to be a silicone planar photodiode used in the detection of molecules. HPLC-PDA (photodiode array) is typically used for molecule detection, it seems like here they're just using the name of the photodiode here for some reason.
First I found it here:
https://www.labor-gaertner.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Dokument...
Page 3, Test technique HPLC/UV/VISD.
Then I started looking for a test technique and found there's a product called VISD made by World Precision Instruments and it's a model of silicon photodiode detector:

If you google "wpi visd detector", a bunch of articles that use it to detect different molecules pop up.
And then here's an article showing that aldosterone can be detected using a photodiode:
https://patents.google.com/patent/US20200124622A1/en
It's the only thing that makes sense to me. But it is a guess, because I'm not sure why they would put it in the units column (unless there's not a better place) or whether there are techniques listed for other parameters. Good luck!

Reference:
median plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) normal range: 30–160 pg / mL
Plasma aldosterone levels are associated with increased cardiovascular mortality: the Ludwigshafen Risk and Cardiovascular Health (LURIC) study.
https://academic.oup.com › article
Andreas Tomaschitz · 2010 · — Median plasma aldosterone concentration (PAC) was 79.0 (48.0–124.0) pg/mL (normal range: 30–160) in 3153 patients [median age: 63.5 (56.3–70.6) years; 30.1% women] who had undergone coronary angiography.

Discussion
Is there any other entry for aldosterone or is this the only one?
Are there any other non-common units under "Unidades"? If so, what does it say in Unidades and Nombre?

Con todo, me planteaba que ese críptico VISD podría ser una especie de typo por unidades SI (sistema internacional), que expresarían el valor de la aldosterona plasmática en nmol/L (o pmol/L). Sin embargo ese valor de 160 como máximo (que podría corresponder a pmol/L) resulta demasiado bajo en cualquier supuesto (160 pmol/L serían equivalentes a 0.16 nmol/L; ver en el enlace de más arriba rangos de referencia).
Así, tal vez algo más de contexto para entender qué valor de aldosterona se está midiendo y cómo leer ese "160" podría ayudar a dilucidar qué se quiere decir con VISD.

pg is picogram, a trillionth of a gram.
Nombre: Aldosterona
Unidades: VISD
Valores de Normalidad: Hasta 160
Muestra: suero
then 'VISD' could stand for 'viscosidad dinámica' (dynamic viscosity)
