hyper/hypo-ureter

.....unremarkable workup there except for the presence of 2 continued stones in his kidney. There was no evidence of a s/l "hyper/hypo-ureter".


Not good with urology.  Thanks


Hypo, hyper, macro, micro
I'm a long-time MT and I still have a problem telling hypo from hyper, hypothyroid from  hyperthyroid,  macro from micro, etc....unless it's very obvious from the content of the dictation which is a lot of times isn't.    Another difficulty is the lab values...it's hard to tell 15 or 50, 20 from 30.  I leave blanks and then I see where QA fills them in.  So, I don't know if my hearing is getting bad or if they or just guessing.  Or, they may have access to othe lab values from previous dictation.  So I'm just wondering if this is a common problem with other MT's. Maybe I need to have my hearing checked.

Hyper vs. hypocoagulable disorder
Subject: Hyper vs. hypocoagulable disorder

I have a doc with a british accent and I can't make out if he is saying "hypocoagulable disorder" or "hypercoagulable disorder". If the patient had DVT or clot I would default to hypercoagulable, but this patient has excessive menstrual bleeding, so I am thinking hypocoagulable. However, when I look it all up on the net, references all seem to be "hypercoagulable" regardless if it's excessive bleeding or clot. Does anyone out there know which it should be? Thanks.

I got an ESL doc that I cannot differentiate between him saying hypo and hyper. 


He states that the TSH is more than the normal level and then prescribes levothyroxine.  Isn't levothyroxine for hypothyroidism?

It is yet unclear as to whether or not an improved remission; i.e., a complete remission prior to autotransplant is associated with improved outcome, although it appears likely given the data from several studies indicating that an autotransplant after hyperC vat or salvage chemotherapy for those who do not enter complete remission with CHOP-R is associated with a better outcome than those transplanted in partial remission.
