GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Danish term or phrase:antalk.
English translation:Amount concentration
Entered by: Helen Johnson

Danish to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical (general) / blood count
Danish term or phrase: antalk.
e.g. B-Neutrophilocytter;antalk. 2.00-7.00 10**9/l
This is exactly how the example is written, and it's one of 5. B-Neutrophilocytes; ?? is what I'm wondering. Is it just 'count' or 'number'? It's the 'k' that I'm not sure about.
Advice appreciated!

Explanation:
LOINC (Logical Observation Identifier Names and Codes)gives NCNC (numerical concentration)
I believe the normal usage is simply "total" or "count" in this context, however.
"Amount concentration" defined as moles per litre cannot be an equivalent of "antalk." because it is a volumetric measure, whereas "antalkoncentration" is clearly a blood count.
