BMP could also be BNP. If the patient has any indication of congestive heart failure, I'd go with BNP. Perhaps T3 and T4? ANCA. Anti-GBM, rather than N? Cryoglobulins. , hepatitis B and C. Don't know urine REM, but urine protein electrophoresis is correct.

New to typing labs. Does this look correct:
UA reveals 2+ ketones, greater than 1.030 specific gravity, 0 glucose. Micro reveals 0 to 1 WBCs, 1 to 2 RBC, rare bacteria, 2 to 4 epithelials with 1+ s/l muc (she may cut off at end, hard to tell).
Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

I've always found it helpful to have a lab sheet in front of me when doing these. You know, the actual printed form that docs check off when they send patient for tests? They usually dictate right from the results sheet and the tests are in alphabetical order within groupings. If your dictator can't supply one, just get one from your own doc -- they're pretty much the same from one lab to the next. I'm still using one I got from a hospital lab back in the Dark Ages when we worked in hospitals.

Subject: LABS & MUMBLERS
Nothing you can do with mumblers if there is no other info in report that tells you info BUT you can get a laboratory value sheet from the hospital lab you're transcribing for, or even get one from your own doc. That will give you a rough idea of normals for that lab. Maybe available on line too, but I'm so old I still look at books.

Punctuation for prenatal labs
Subject: Punctuation for prenatal labs
Hi
Can someone tell me a good site to reference the punctuation for prenatal labs??? I'm not sure if they should be all seperated by commas, periods, or semicolons. Also, would number of pregnancies, deliveries, and due date be seperated by these labs with a period????? Doctor just rattled them off all together, and I'm not sure the correct punctuation........ especially because the last lab value in the series requires a comma in itself (Pap smear abnormal, class II)
