German term or phrase: Indikation zu stellen
"Die Ergebnisse der transienten Elastografie allein können aber ausreichen, um etwa bei einer Hepatitis C die Indikation für eine Therapie zu stellen"

I have come up with: in order to set up treatment for Hepatitis C. But where does the term Indikation come in? Or is my translation correct?

Thanks.

to establish an indication
Explanation:

... to establish an indication for therapy

The application of music therapy, however, must be preceded by the establishment of indications for therapy. Developmental problems, delays, and disabilities are often very complex with one primary area affected by a delay also affecting other areas secondarily. Therefore, before indications can be established, pediatric and psychological diagnostics which result in a developmental profile of the child are necessary. On the basis of this profile and the diagnosis of the child, indications for therapy can be established. Only then is it possible to formulate goals for therapy which are adequate for the individual child (Voigt, 2001).

Of further concern is a recent article that describes an
increase in sildenafil use by younger male and female
patients without an indication for appropriate use.7
However, this study did not use physician-reported
diagnoses to establish an indication for use.

More studies, however, are needed to establish an indication for steroid treatment in these patients.

TE could theoretically be used to screen patients
attending the liver clinic in order to identify: (a) patients
with chronic hepatitis B and C with significant fibrosis,
to establish an indication for antiviral therapy; (b)
patients with non alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
or non alcoholic steatohepatitis with significant fibrosis
in which aggressive dietary intervention or new therapies
could be proposed; (c) patients with liver cirrhosis, in
order to start sonographic surveillance for hepatocellular
carcinoma; (d) patients with liver cirrhosis and significant
portal hypertension, in order to start endoscopic
surveillance of esophageal varices.

come up with a diagnosis


Explanation:
results would not be enough to come up with a diagnosis that would justify treatment...
That's my understanding. More findings would be needed to support the diagnosis and a subsequent treatment decision.

disagree  lirka: the diagnosis has already been established (HCV); now they are establishing an indication (suitability) to initiate treatment for it

set up a specific therapy/treatment


Explanation:

I would add specific/corresponding to emphasise the 'Indikation' aspect - but generally you translation is fine!!

...another option could be:

""""to make a specific treatment decision""""""

neutral  lirka: yes, but I am somehow missing the "Indikation" part in your translation. Indication [for Th] is one thing, and the actual therapy is a step further
