Verlaufsdiagnostik

English translation: further diagnostic work-up

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Verlaufsdiagnostik
English translation:further diagnostic work-up

German to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general)
German term or phrase: Verlaufsdiagnostik
Appears in a list with "Basisdiagnostik" preceding it and "Nachsorgediagnostik" after it in an item about hepatitis. I guess it is a diagnosis related to the course of the disease and how to treat it but I cannot find an appropriate English term.

further diagnostic work-up
Explanation:
Not literal, but makes most sense. Literal translation would be "diagnostic work-up during clinical course of disease".... but one never sees that in reports. Either just diagnostic work-up or you may wanna add 'further' because it fits well after your first entry of "Basic diagnostic work-up".

One point to note, however: "Diagnostik" is neither diagnosis nor 'diagnostics' ( which is an artificial word that, IMHO, does not exist in EN).

interval diagnosis


Explanation:
I don't really know if this term is in common usage at all in English, but it would be analogous to "interval change" which is in common usage, for example to describe any changes seen in the interval between X-rays taken at close intervals.

follow-up surveillance


Explanation:
As lirka already indicated it means the use of diagnostic tools during the (natural) course of the disease. I´d call this "follow-up surveillance" rather than "further diagnostic work-up" because - at least in my perception - the latter term is more frequently used for a "diagnostic follow-up" after a primary diagnosis that requires further staging or validation.

Example sentence(s):
  • ...To determine whether patients with diabetes under follow-up surveillance in a subspecialty clinic are receiving care that meets the guidelines recommended by the American Diabetes Association...
  • ..Follow-up surveillance after treatment for prostate cancer...
