PA
Explanation:
O autor usou a abreviatura "PA" em inglês, ao invés da correspondente "AP" em português.

PA = Pernicious Anemia
AP = Anemia perniciosa.

O resultado do exame da desidrogenase lática (LHD) pode indicar a doença.

P.ex., 1200 U/L é um nível elevado, revelador de AP.

O resultado "L.D.H. 330 U/L PA" do paciente em tela foi negativo, ou seja, PA = Null.
