Next parameter Hi Anthony again, and thanks for giving more thought to this. Actually, I found the parameter on another laboratory result page ... the copy was more legible. If I hadn't been able to find it, I would have just written [illegible] and left it for the client to puzzle out. 95% of my translation assignments are after the fact: the patients are subjects in clinical trials and have already undergone all their therapy. The pharmaceutical companies are trying to determine the effectiveness and safety of their ever-new miracle treatments.

Thanks again.

not GB have you got any further with deciphering the next parameter, Joseph? If the client cannot help, I would enter a Translator's Note rather than guess. It would be a shame for the patient to undergo intensive therapy over a misprint!
