German term

Fett

German to English Medical Medical: Health Care Lab parameters
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?

Discussion

Dr. Christopher Kronen May 4, 2023:
@uyuni If you insist.
uyuni May 4, 2023:
@ Christopher Why don't you go ahead and post 'bold' as answer?
uyuni May 4, 2023:
w/ Christopher It's a dictation command (fett = bold) which was erroneously written down by the typist (or the speech recognition software, who knows...).
philgoddard May 3, 2023:
Yes, that makes sense.
Dr. Christopher Kronen May 3, 2023:
Perhaps Fett as in Fettschrift meaning that the following information about the GFR should be in bold?
Elisabeth Moser May 3, 2023:
I see your point on milliliter - thanks for pointing this out :)
philgoddard May 3, 2023:
Elisabeth Fett is the first word.
Milliliter is sometimes incorrectly written as mL, but the correct version is ml. Liter is not a proper noun.
Elisabeth Moser May 3, 2023:
I do not see fat anywhere the question needs to be more detailed - GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is the same in English but is not part e.g. of the lipid panel - ml should always be written mL - in English l = length; L = liter

Bold

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.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "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

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

neutral uyuni : 'Fett/fat' is not a valid lab parameter...
20 hrs
neutral Johannes Gleim : With uyuni. "Fett" in medical context is a "lipid".
