Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (1): Sabine Akabayov, PhD

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Kontext It is a unit and part of the Kleines Blutbild - here is the value:
Referenzbereich: 0.400-.0510
Einheit I/I
Wert: 1st day: 0.488 2nd day 0.404
Does that make it clearer?
Lirka Sep 15, 2011:
surely must be units typo?
SJLD Sep 15, 2011:
No it's not the name of a factor, it's the units for the hematocrit.
Yuu Andou Sep 15, 2011:
name of a factor? please search the term "factors II (prothrombin)" within the following website: http://www.vivo.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/misc_topics/vi...
SJLD Sep 15, 2011:
What's the value? HCT is usually expressed as a percentage. Is this a scanned/OCR'd document?

Peer comment(s):

neutral Attila Szabo : In all of the documents I've seen, hematocrit is measured in %. I'm puzzled by I/I - it looks to me as if they're capital i's.

yes they look like capital i's but they aren't :-)
agree Sabine Akabayov, PhD : durch multiplizieren mit 100 bekommt man ja den Prozentwert. Da der Bereich bei 0.4-0.51 liegt, kann es nur liter/liter sein und nicht Prozent

thanks sibsab - yes, exactly, if we had been given the values earlier it would have been a lot easier ;-)
