Spanish term

gliumia copila

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Patient medical report
From a medical report giving the case history of a patient suffering from acute gastroenteritis, the last of the measurements of the patient's condition reads:
"Gliumia copila = 82 mg/dl"

The measurement suggests to me a reading for cholesterol levels, but I cannot find the term "gliumia copila" anywhere. It is possible that I am misreading the term due to the poor handwriting. Any suggestions on what it might be are most welcome!

Hi Martin, could this be a typo?

agree liz askew : n fact, glycemic values (i.e., blood glucose levels) affect capillary permeability, modifying it even in initial diabetic stages, e.g., hyperinsulinemia-insulinresistance, and notoriously in overt diabetes, whose pathogenetic mechanisms are explained by t

Thank you Liz, that´s the beauty of being a translator - we learn something new every day! Saludos!

glucemia/glicemia = blood glucose

82 is more appropriate for glucose than cholesterol. The 2nd part is very difficult to guess :-)

capillary blood glycemia

might refer to the collection of the blood sample,venous and capillary blood samples vary slightly in glucose levels..

Reference:

glucemia capilar?

I concur with Yasser on the first part, but for what it is worth:

GLUCEMIA: glucemia.
(Del fr. glycémie, con u influida por glucosa).
1. f. Med. Presencia de glucosa en la sangre.
2. f. Med. Medida de la cantidad de glucosa presente en la sangre.

Capillary glycemia

Título Title
Fiabilidad de la determinación de la glucemia a la cabecera del paciente en pacientes críticos. Reliability of the measurement of glucose at the bedside of critial patients.
Resumen Abstract
Introducción. El objetivo de este estudio es determinar la fiabilidad de tres métodos de determinación, a pie de cama, de la glucemia en el paciente crítico comparados con la determinación de glucemia en el laboratorio central. Material y métodos. Estudio observacional prospectivo desarrollado en una Unidad polivalente de 18 camas durante 4 meses. Se incluyeron pacientes que portaban catéter arterial. Se compararon con la glucemia plasmática (patrón oro) 8 muestras obtenidas a la cabecera del paciente: tres en sangre capilar, 4 en sangre arterial y una de sangre arterial en jeringa de gases. Las determinaciones a la cabecera fueron realizadas con tiras reactivas MediSense® Optium™ Plus y glucómetro MediSense® Optium™. Se realizó una comparación de medias mediante la prueba de la «t» de Student y análisis de Bland y Altman. Resultados. Obtuvimos 630 muestras en 70 pacientes. La glucemia media (desviación estándar [DE]) en mg/dl fue: a) muestras capilares: 149 (38), 149 (35), 147 (37); b) muestras arteriales: 140(34), 142 (35), 143 (35), 142 (34); muestra arterial en jeringa de gases: 143 (33); c) glucemia plasmática: 138 (33). Hubo diferencias significativas (p < 0,001) entre la glucemia plasmática y las muestras capilares, pero no con las muestras arteriales (p = 0,2). En las muestras arteriales la presencia de algunos factores, como fármacos vasoactivos, perfusión de soluciones glucosadas, perfusión de insulina y concentración plasmática de hemoglobina, aumenta el error y la dispersión respecto al patrón oro. Conclusiones. En enfermos críticos la medida de la glucemia a pie de cama es más fiable en muestras arteriales que en muestras capilares.

Thanks Yasser. Not really clever - amazing what you can find on the net! Thanks.
