tons of disease

It’s very important for my colleagues to understand that even when the electrophoresis in the serum and urine gets normalized, there’s still tons of disease and that for certain levels of serum free light chains can catch that.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Rui Domingues

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

agree Ana Vozone : Eu diria talvez "muita doença" ... "ainda há muita doença"

Obrigada, Ana! O texto é tão informal, acho que dava até para usar "um monte de doença"
agree Patricia Fierro, M. Sc.
1 hora
Obrigada, Patricia!
agree Rafael Mantovani : também concordo com "um monte de doença", no singular. Nada no texto diz que é mais de uma doença, pode ser por exemplo uma doença só, com uma carga de vírus/bactéria/etc. muito alta

uma alta presença de enfermidades

Sugestão
A tradução ao pé da letra "toneladas de enfermidades" me parece estranha.

toneladas de doença

We should stick to the original as much as possible.
This expression is common ALSO in Portuguese, in precisely the same way.
This is an informal way of speaking and writing, and therefore we should not correct the expression and make it look more formal or better than it is.

Ainda há "milhares de doenças"...

Usa-se o termo 'tons' para dar mais ênfase. Seria como 'milhares' no Português.
