Laboratiumonderzoek:

Lymfocyten 2.0%, Monocyten 10.0%, Tox. Korrel +, Anis. Thromb. +, Natrium 158 mmol/l, etc.

Anisocytotic thrombocytes
Explanation:
Coehlo (26th) defines anisocytose as: ongelijke grootte van de rode bloedcellen. When looking up this adjective I came across the term in a few articles (one link included here). Good luck!

Thanks, I think in this case it is an adjective as well. Otherwise there would have been a comma to separate the two and a + sign next to both terms.

Anisocytes and Thrombocytes


Explanation:
Abbreviations for the above terms I think. The plus meaning increased amounts present.

Example sentence(s):
  • Thrombocytes are also known as platelets
  • Anisocytes and poikilocytes in the urine.

agree  Textpertise: Anisocytes are red blood cells of irregular size. Thrombocytes are cell fragments rather than whole cells.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
neutral  Textpertise: Anisocytes are red blood cells of irregular size. Thrombocytes are cell fragments not cells. IMHO two separate terms, not one modifying the other. Unless there is a value given + will mean moderately elevated numbers found. ++ would mean highly elevated.

  -> You could be right, however the (+) as value indicates to me one concept (test), namely, that these types of cells were found in the blood (note values after the other measurements).

On page 1
Thrombocytes: Cell fragments rather than whole cells. The platelets function in haemostasis or control of bleeding. They plug holes in blood vessels and contribute to the activation of the blood-clotting cascade.
On page 4
Variations in the size of RBCs (red blood cells) are described as microcytic (small RBCs), macrocytic (large RBCs), or anisocytic (RBCs of irregular
sizes)
