GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Portuguese term or phrase:S/U/L
English translation:blood, urine, CSF

Medical - Medical (general)
Portuguese term or phrase: S/U/L
On a printout of results of various tests (analyses), the tests are followed by various combinations of the letters s, u, and l. For example:

Glucose, doseamento, S/U/L
Ionograma (NA, K, CL), S/U
Proteína C reativa, S
Ureia, S/U

I see these used all over the place, but never with an explanation, since clearly the people who use them already know what they mean.

Help, please?
