Subject: levers or levels
This is from a letter about a doctor's credentials.
It was for these reasons alone that he was terminated after a very extensive institutional review by several s/l levers of the educational bureaucracy.
Is levers okay here?
any help is greatly appreciated.

Persistent transaminasemia and fatty liver. Their use in the diagnosis of presymptomatic Wilson's disease
A. E. Stillman and L. R. Rohr
A 41/2-year-old asymptomatic girl with persistent elevated serum transaminase levels for eight months was found to have Wilson's disease. The diagnosis was suspected by the presence of fatty liver and nonspecific chronic hepatitis on liver biopsy and was proved by studies of copper metabolism, including determinations of serum ceruloplasmin and hepatic copper concentrations. Unexplained persistent transaminase elevation in children demand investigation by needle liver biopsy. Th presence of fatty liver and hepatitis should raise the possibility of Wilson's disease, which may then be confirmed by more specific tests. Advantages to early diagnosis include the institution of specific therapy and prevention of progressive liver disease.

I guess it would depend on what you patient is being studied for. It may not be LH at all? Sorry

Subject: Protein S is a vitamin K–dependent anticoagulant protein, thus low levels tend to
increase the tendency for coagulation/DVT. In this regard, I agree with you.
However, maybe the elevation of protein S at the time of the DVT rules out protein S deficiency as a probable cause of the thrombotic episode. Is there any such implication? The clotting mechanism involves a complex cascade of activation events of numerous factors, and Protein S is just one cofactor for another anticoagulant protein.
Still, it would be wise to flag the doctor and let him put the final word.
