OAT


Explanation:
OATs is the abbreviation of:
Drug transport by Organic Anion Transporters (OATs) - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22841915/
Organic anion transporters (OATs) are the secondary/tertiary active transporter proteins that regulate anion balance in the body. - https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/pharmacology-toxicology...
Many OATs occur in renal proximal tubules - 1st link
Exceptions are murine Oat6 (nasal epithelium), human OAT7 (liver), and rat Oat8 (renal collecting ducts). In human kidneys, OAT1, OAT2, and OAT3 are localized in the basolateral membrane, and OAT4, OAT10, and URAT1 in the apical cell membrane of proximal tubule cells, respectively. - idem

Oligo Asthéno Tératospermie


Explanation:
Jean-Pierre Bouscau-Fauré : Dictionnaire des sigles médicaux et du secteur sanitaire et social. Oligoasthenoteratospermia is abbreviated OAT or OATS, but of course you have to be dealing with a male patient! Without context, we are all shooting in the dark!

Notes to answerer
Asker: The source doc was from Canada. They apparently use English and French interchangeably in medical language. That’s the source of confusion.
