that is not a post-cath/stent term. It is a labwork term. Try researching cholesterol and triglycerides.

ALT/AST - maybe?

Not ALT/AST - sm

I think the first response was from an MT who was being nice and directing the OP (? student) to research cholesterol levels to find the answer. :)

: ) you're right - nm

Cholesterol labs...sm - Anon

A-stil is probably HDL and L-dil is probably LDL. Total cholesterol is 211, HDL is 25, LDL is 152, and triglycerides are 158. Bye the way, those are lousy values. No wonder the patient needed a cardiac catheterization.

yes, we know that - sm

The fact that HDL and LDL did not pop out for the OP suggests she might be a student rather than an MT. It's a word board, not a homework board. She can't learn MT by rote.

Has anyone ever heard the initials PNK or TNK for cath procedure. Patient having multiple procedures done and all I know is that it is a thrombolytic agent. I have looked up both in the abbreviation site and find nothing for TNK (which sounds more like it), but PNK??? Any thoughts or ideas, some med I would assume but I have stumped on this one. Thanks ...
