Dear all.
I had the same problem when I first started work in this country (UK).
Here are some commonly used abbreviation:
LFT: liver function tests (test panel can vary from lab to lab)
U&E: Urea and electrolytes (Na, K, urea, creatinine)
TFT: thyroid function tests( test panel can vary from lab to lab)
CE: cardiac enzymes (test panel can vary from lab to lab)
EST: erythrocyte sedimentation rate
PV: plasma viscosity
TATT: tired all the time
FTT: failure to thrive
OGTT: oral glucose tolerance test
SST: short Synacthen test
IST: insulin stress test
I can't think of any more right now but I hope this is useful.
Greetings
