Spanish term

basal

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general)
In a medical discharge report, the term "basal" appears several times in the following contexts:

sodio en orina basal
potasio en orina basal
retraccion ventricular asociada en region basal

I know the word "basal" does exist in English but it doesn't appear to be commonly used in these contexts so I'm unsure if it's correct here or whether there's a better translation.

Note from asker:
