diskrete

English translation: mild

17:32 May 14, 2019
German to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Cardiology / generally, vascular anatomy
German term or phrase: diskrete
From patient discharge letter:
"Diskrete Perfusion im Bereich der Unterschenkelarterien."

Means something like modest, mild, or slight -- more than small and less than moderate.
Does NOT mean discreet or discrete--these are false friends.
Sometimes appears with other, similar terms, so it is difficult to visualize what distinction is being made.

Explanation:
For the specific context mentioned, I would use "decreased perfusion" or, alternatively, "poor perfusion".

"Slight" and (even less idiomatic, "mild") would be used for slIghtly different contexts.
