German to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Health Care / Lab parameters
German term or phrase: Fett
This shows up in a lab report, followed by a comma and then GFR60, and then the statement, "Eine GFR > 60 ml / min pro 1.73 qm sollte nicht als exakteWert, sondem lediglich als " > 60" interpretiert werden, dadie MDRD-Formel für ciesen Bereich nicht ausreichendvalidiert ist." Is "fat" a lab parameter, or is there another term used in English?

Bold
Explanation:
Fett as in Fettschrift meaning that the GFR information that follows should be in bold.

As uyuni has mentioned in the discussion, this could be a dictation command written down in error.

Thanks, I'm not sure if it applied in this case, so I put a translator's note, but it could apply in other cases, so it's good to have this in the gloss.

Fat


Explanation:
Without more context, yes, I would have to assume that "Fett" here is a lab parameter; at least, no other definition listed in the Duden for "fett" or "Fett" would make sense here, except maybe to suggest "Fettschrift" as Dr. Kronen suggested. But since in the report, it's followed by "GFR60," I assume "Fett" and "GFR60" are related variables in an experiment.

neutral  philgoddard: It's not an experiment, and I can't see a connection between fat and glomerular filtration rate.
