BPH - to expand or not to expand

Posted: Jun 23rd, 2018 - 8:48 pm

Here go my client specs

"Write out an abbreviation or acronym in full if it is used in the admission, discharge, preoperative, or postoperative diagnosis; consultative conclusion; or operative title. These are critical points of information, and their meanings must be clear to assure accurate communication for patient care, reimbursement, statistical purposes, and medicolegal documentation.

 

If unable to translate an abbreviation or acronym that appears in a diagnosis or operative title, the MT should leave a blank and flag the report, asking the originator to translate it."

 

My doubt is BPH can be either "benign prostatic hyperplasia" or "benign prostatic hypertrophy."  Do I expand it or not?
