chem 18 - Anja
Posted: Nov 04, 2009
HI
I'm trying to find out what chem. 18 is and how to properly transcribe it. It's part of a "PLAN" and it goes : "CBC chem 18 CD4 count and viral load"
If anybody could help... THANK YOU!
Chem-18 or Chem 18 - dsauverwald
[ In Reply To ..]There is a Chem-7, Chem-12, and Chem-18. I do believe the Chem-18 includes all the components of the Chem-12 and also hepatitis screening and some others that I cannot recall. I tried to research it but cannot find all the components, but pretty sure it is transcribed as Chem-18 or Chem 18 (either is acceptable, unless otherwise stated in your account specifics).

I did not come across Chem-18 in my book, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
