On reflection I think procalcitonin would not work in this context (hemocoagulation results) and the suggested plateletcrit should be used instead. Procalcitonin would generally appear under Special proteins and markers of inflammation heading.

As regards the PCT-related data in the report, the use of "ratio" in the report is just a way the given laboratory issues results and can be left out in the translation as its meaning is inherent in "plateletcrit" - the proportion of total volume of blood that is composed of platelets.

The values 0.12/0.13 mean that platelets make up 12%/13% of blood.
On the other hand, "APTT" and "APTT ratio" are two separate parameters.

Procalcitonin appears in the same print-out, but they don't abbreviate it at all: it says 'S_Prokalcitonin'. It makes a change to see the word spelt out in full, to avoid ambiguity!
