labs new to me - tired out mt
Posted: Jun 06, 2010
Her laboratory studies show a sedimentation rate of 25, C-reactive protein of 2.9, and a positive s/l ANA with a speckled pattern and a s/l tyler of 1 to 40. TIA
This is new to me, so I am very unsure. tia.
new labs - tootired
[ In Reply To ..]these are usually tests of inflammation - for example testing for rheumatoid arthritis. What you are hearing is probably ASO titer of 1:40, BTW, 1:40 is the correct way to type any measurement like this that you come across :)
s/l he is just saying titer sm. - tired out mt
[ In Reply To ..]can he just be saying titer of 1:40? also how is the s/l of ANA or A & A typed. We are suppose to type out acronyms.
Thank you :-)
ANA - cj
[ In Reply To ..]It is ANA and typed just like that. Stands for antinuclear antibody.

Help With Numbers Labs And Vitals
Apr 18, 2013
Can anyone help with any tips on numbers? I work in speech recognition as most of us do now and I am having the hardest time with numbers. The account I am on has high ESL also, but even without that, I can't seem to get values correct 100% of the time to save my life. Examples are hearing a 0 instead of an 8 such as 130 instead of 138 or hearing a 2 instead do a 3 or even in platelets thinking I am hearing a value of 300,000 versus 200,000. If it is a profile that doesn't make sense ...

Good Source Of Labs For H&Ps That Are Grouped In Proper Groups

Does anyone have a good source of labs for H&Ps that are grouped in proper groups so I can quickly look and know when to put the period and start another group? I'm looking for a quick reference sheet or something that I can refer to without having to go look up the things that I don't remember.

Check Rheumatology Labs, Including Rheumatoid Factor, Anti-CCP
Sep 08, 2010
This patient could possibly have gout, fibromyalgia, OA, RA, psoriasis...among other possibilities. "Check rheumatology labs, including rheumatoid factor, anti-CCP, ANA, sed rate, CRP, CMP, CBC, Lyme. The patient had a s/l 'dipsticks all the time.' Check an ACE." The doctor did pause after "had a" so that may not be part of the sentence. In that case, it sounds kind of like, "The patient gets sticks all the time." I'm not sure if either makes sense. She does mention ...
"citrullinated Cross-linked Peptides"? Rheumatology Labs
May 20, 2011
Doc is referring patient for labs to rule out rheumatoid arthritis. He's listed these a million times and always says "CCP level." This time he said "citrullinated cross-linked peptides." I'm thinking he just doesn't know what CCP stands for, as I can only find "cyclic citrullinated peptide". He's not a rheumatologist, but then again, neither am I. Can someone with rheumatology experience weigh in? ...
