NO TAHTS WRONG.NEVER WRITE LFT ITS SAID IN THE CS video.always write AST/ALT/bili..thats correct

  #4

you need to be as specific as possible. CBC is fine

But for LFT, its better to write, bilirubin/ alt/ ast/ alp / ggt/ total protein/ albumin and so on..

Similarly, write BUN/ Cr rather than KFT.. but electrolytes is fine. but not chem 7..

I hope you get the idea.. smiling face

there is a list of accepted abbreviations which is pasted on the wall in front of the computer at the center, and one is also given in FA ...i think one should stick to that, in fact cheking whoch abbreviations are acceptable or not takes up time so except for a few that u decide from beforehand its best to be clear

Yes, guys, you are right. It's better to play safe and it takes only a few seconds more (and a little more space on the page) anyway. nod
