German term or phrase: G
I'm reviewing a table of laboratory results (all the usual parameters), and under the heading of Mat. (supposedly Material), the entries are either G, E or S. I found one possibility for S in the condordance (Material: Serum (S)... not absolutely sure whether it fits here, but might help solve the mystery) but no idea about the others. The translator has translated E as U (well, actually just left the context match in, but no context to verify that either), but since there's no other context, there's really no way to verify this. So, let's start with G..

Thanks in advance for any insights.

typo for C (C= citrate plasma)?
Explanation:
If you don't have C anywhere, then this may be a typo for C.

A guess, but check if it fits.

G (glucose)
G = Glucose


Explanation:
Die Hinweise aus der Diskussion weisen meiner Meinung nach eindeutig auf Glucose hin. Auch in Wikipedia finden sich Zusammenhänge mit Blut und Stoffwechsel (z.B. Harn).
Diese Polymere werden bei der Nahrungsaufnahme durch Tiere, Pilze und Bakterien mithilfe von Enzymen erst zu Glucose abgebaut. Beim Menschen geschieht dies teilweise bereits beim Kauen mittels Amylase, die im Speichel enthalten ist, sowie durch die Maltase.
:
Im erwachsenen Menschen sind etwa 18 g Glucose,[57] davon etwa 4 g im Blut.[58] In 24 Stunden werden in der Leber eines erwachsenen Menschen etwa 180 bis 220 g Glucose gebildet.[57]
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose#Klassische_qualitative...

Le glucose circule à travers l'organisme dans le sang, et la concentration de glucose dans le plasma sanguin s'appelle la glycémie.
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose

Unter Blutzucker versteht man im Allgemeinen den Glucoseanteil im Blut. Glucose ist ein wichtiger Energielieferant des Körpers.
:
Der Blutzucker kann in einer Blutprobe, zum Beispiel aus Kapillarblut, gemessen werden.
:
Eine Messung des Glucosegehaltes im Urin ist möglich. Glucose tritt im Urin auf, wenn die Glucosekonzentration im Blut stark erhöht ist und die Nierenschwelle überschritten ist.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blutzucker

Les tubes de prélèvements de sang pour analyse de la glycémie en laboratoire contiennent généralement un inhibiteur de glycolyse à base de fluorure de sodium et d'oxalate de potassium ; pour éviter la dégradation des molécules de glucose par les cellules du sang8

Still the missing English sister pages :

In energy metabolism, glucose is the most important source of energy in all organisms. Glucose for metabolism is stored as a polymer, in plants mainly as starch and amylopectin, and in animals as glycogen. Glucose circulates in the blood of animals as blood sugar.
:
In concentrated solutions of glucose with a low proportion of other carbohydrates, its concentration can be determined with a polarimeter. For sugar mixtures, the concentration can be determined with a refractometer, for example in the Oechsle determination in the course of the production of wine.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose#Instrumental_quantific...

Two major methods have been used to measure glucose. The first, still in use in some places, is a chemical method exploiting the nonspecific reducing property of glucose in a reaction with an indicator substance that changes color when reduced. Since other blood compounds also have reducing properties (e.g., urea, which can be abnormally high in uremic patients), this technique can produce erroneous readings in some situations (5–15 mg/dL has been reported). The more recent technique, using enzymes specific to glucose, is less susceptible to this kind of error. The two most common employed enzymes are glucose oxidase and hexokinase.[29] Average blood glucose concentrations can also be measured. This method measures the level of glycated hemoglobin, which is representative of the average blood glucose levels over the last, approximately, 120 days.[29]
:
Urine glucose readings, however taken, are much less useful. In properly functioning kidneys, glucose does not appear in urine until the renal threshold for glucose has been exceeded. This is substantially above any normal glucose level, and is evidence of an existing severe hyperglycemic condition.
