German term

p-Leber

German to English Medical Medical (general) Laboratory testing
In a German medical report, patient has possible inflammatory bowel disease or Crohn's disease:

"Zudem sollten folgende Laborparameter bestimmt werden: p-Niere, p-Leber, CrP, großes Blutbild sowie Quick und PTT."

For the sake of thoroughness, I would like to ask what the "p" stands for here. I have not seen it before in this context. The "p" before "Niere" probably has the same meaning, so I will ask just one question.

Thanks!

Stephen

Most likely an inhouse code/abbreviation p could stand for "Profil" (or, lowercase, for "kleines Profil"), or "Parameter", or similar.
David Tracey, PhD Nov 11, 2016:
'Präanalytik' Possibly 'Präanalytik'?
"Präanalytik ist ein Begriff aus der Labormedizin. Er beschreibt den Teil des diagnostischen Prozesses, der vor der eigentlichen Erstellung des Messergebnisses liegt. Die weiteren Schritte heissen Analytik und Postanalytik."

I've looked at this from all just points of view and can't come up with anything better than just sticking with "p" but I still thinknit would be ok

ich würde sagen, daß du "p" ruhig lassen kannst
