Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / Lab tests
Portuguese term or phrase: s/u/l
These appear on lab tests from Portugal. I can't seem to find any direct reference as to what they stand for.
i.e.

creatinina s/u
glucose, doseamento, s/u/l
bilirrubina total s/l

Any help much appreciated!
