a little help

I’m thinking about this: In my posts, when I first use an acronym, ALT (Alanine Aminotransferase) I write out what it stands for; and when I give my reading 28 IU/L (5-60), I give the units and the range just so everyone is on the same page. So new folks and slow people like me don’t have to work so hard to keep up. After that, then just the acronyms and the numbers will do.

That's always useful Murffie (whilst mindful of The Trust's rules about not posting test results for supplementary diagnosis)

In addition BLT have a pinned post that links to a very helpful glossary.
