When patients are admitted with what appears to be poisoning, blood tests and urine tests are taken to establish which substances have been ingested. Values in the blood have an S-prefix; those in the urine a U-prefix. See example here: http://www.bispebjerghospital.dk/NR/rdonlyres/9EFE039B-06BB-...

alkoholværdi i blodstrømmen


Explanation:
Jeg mener at når noget har et "S" foran en værdi der er i blodstrømmen, er der tale om "serum". På engelsk siger man "serum potassium", "serum magnesium", "serum ethanol level", så det kan være at i dette tilfælde er det alkoholværdien (promillen) i patienten's blodstrøm.

  -> Thanks sampat - it seems from various discussions that there is a difference between blood alcohol levels and serum alcohol levels - pretty esoteric stuff! http://www.clinchem.org/content/39/11/2288.full.pdf
