This isn't really important, but I'm curious.
I've just got my first lot of pregnancy blood tests back. They're in Spanish and experience tells me there's no point in looking the terms up in a dictionary...
The system they use is obviously a british/US one as the high / low results are marked "H" and "L" (corresponding Spanish words are A and B) so perhaps the oreder is exactly the same as on British tests. The things they have analused are:
Leucocitos (Lucocites or something?)
hematies (L)
hemaglobina (I know what that is! )
hematocrito
VCM
HCM (H)
CHCM
ADE
plaquetas (platelets, I guess)
VPM
and some other things. Just wondering really what the hematies (heamites?? ) and the HCM might be as I have low and high levels of them respectively.
Like I say, I'm not worried, but can anyone guess what they are and what it might mean to have low / high levels of them really.
