German term

KU, BU

German to English Medical Medical: Health Care medical report
In the report, which is a brief summary of an outpatient visit, a section titled "Therapie/Medikamente Notaufnahme:" is followed by KU, BU. I am wondering if KU is for "Kurzuntersuchung" because only a brief examination was performed, but I am not sure about BU in that case. Suggestions?
Proposed translations (English)

Discussion

Celia Bodnar (asker) Jan 20, 2021:
Doesn't really fit as betriebsärztliche Untersuchung for this patient
Lirka Jan 20, 2021:
BU could be betriebsärztliche Untersuchung, but context is needed to know whether this fits at all.

Selected

physical examination, blood test

Not sure, because it doesn't fit "Therapie/Medikamente", but could be "körperliche Untersuchung" and "Blutuntersuchung"
Note from asker:
Of course! This could be it, as I believe this was all that was performed.
