Examples

Clinical Chemistry

 

 Example 1
Generic abbreviated form NPU19848 Pt(U)—M-component; mass rate(proc.) = ? g/d
Full form with a result NPU19848 Patient(Urine)—M-component; mass rate(procedure) = 1.2 gram per day
Abbreviated form with a result NPU19848 Pt(U)—M-component; mass rate(proc.) = 1.2 g/d
Written expression The mass rate of M-component in Mr. Smith’s urine is [1.2] g/d. The measurement is performed according to procedure defined by the laboratory.
Equation

Clinical Pharmacology

 Example 2
Generic abbreviated form NPU19777 Pt—Gabapentin(administered); mass rate(p.o.) = ? mg/d
Full form with a result NPU19777 Patient—Gabapentin(administered); mass rate(oral administration) = 300 milligram per day
Abbreviated form with a result NPU19777 Pt—Gabapentin(administered); mass rate(p.o.) = 300 mg/d
Written expression The mass rate of oral administered Gabapentin to Mr. Smith is [300] mg/d.
