Right Eric, standard Croatian abbreviation for hematokrit is Htc, e.g. http://www.chrono.hr/primarna/prisadr.htm
Veronica Prpic Uhing Jul 13, 2008:

hematocrit, haematocrit (Ht, HCT)

Ako se radi o laboratorijskoj (hematološkoj) analizi krvi, možda je htk = hematokrit.

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thanks, that's it. I really appreciate your help. Veronica, there is unfortunately no unit, but the value does fall within the reference range for hemocrit. I just had not seen it abbreviated like that before, even in Croatian."

histidine, ketoglutarate and tryptophan

That should be it!

The last two words of my answer should switch places.
Note from asker:
Katarina, I appreciate your response. However, the abbreviation does correspond with a laboratory result, and the corresponding value falls within the reference range for hemocrit, so I think it does in fact stand for hemocrit. But thanks for your help.
