Any help greatly appreciated!

Claire Knell (asker) Oct 20, 2015:
Thanks Anne! If you want to give this as an answer am happy to give the points as I think this is the most likely.

I will also let you all know if the client is able to clarify this.

Thanks again all!
Anne Schulz Oct 20, 2015:
@Claire In that case, I would give 'orina' a CL of 3 and consider it a reasonable proposal ;-)
Claire Knell (asker) Oct 20, 2015:
Interestingly, I just noticed that under the urinalysis section it also says:

CELULAS EPITELIALES(O)

Sorry I didn't notice this before. Maybe it does just mean 'orina' as Anne suggests?
Claire Knell (asker) Oct 20, 2015:
Hi all, thanks so much for your suggestions. It is in the 'Test name' column, and is definitely a letter not a number. It reads as:

NITRITOS(O) NEG 0 0

'NEG' is under the result column and the '0 0' is under the reference range column.

I think I may have to just ask the client...
Nuno Lopes Oct 18, 2015:
The (O) would be oxidic nitrite form, which indicates bacterial activity in the patient's urine :v
Charles Davis Oct 18, 2015:
Is there a value given after "NITRITOS(O)"? If not, could it be that the O is really a 0 (zero), in other words, negative, no nitrites found? Just a thought.
Anne Schulz Oct 18, 2015:
Hi liz, not sure if that is sensible at all, since a 'urinalysis section' is all about urine anyway. But automats sometimes print silly things, and this may just be an automatic distinction from nitrite concentration in exhaled air.
liz askew Oct 18, 2015:
What a sensible suggestion Anne!
Anne Schulz Oct 18, 2015:
How about O as in "orina"?
liz askew Oct 18, 2015:
Nitrite test - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nitrite_test
Jump to Urinary nitrite test - A positive test for nitrites in the urine is called nitrituria. This test is commonly used in diagnosing urinary tract infections (UTI). A positive nitrite test indicates that the cause of the UTI is a gram negative organism, most commonly Escherichia coli.

Also, your "(O)" looks like an "o" as in "orange/obvious" not a zero
Jane Martin Oct 18, 2015:
Could it be Nitrites 0 (zero) as it is not normal to find nitrites in urine.

Nitrite test - the

It is a test performed on urine samples to check for infection, since bacterial activity leaves behind nitrites or nitric oxide.

**"Nitrite test - the O stands for the oxide" is the answer I intended to give. But ProZ found it to be a bit too long :v

Nitrito

Nitrites have an N=O double bond between a nitrogen atom and an oxygen atom on the same molecule. In Spanish, the term in the singular is nitrito; but one variant of such a nitrite is the nitroso group, which has R-N=O, where R is another organic moiety. If R is another oxygen atom, you can use either term to refer to the molecule, i.e. both definitions are satisfied.

I attempted to answer the "I'm just wondering" question, rather than providing a translation in context.
