Thank you, Sarka.

Well we got there in the end (thought I'd set the ball rolling with a red herring :) )

In the meantime I asked my friend who is a Czech doctor and he confirmed that a.j. means arbitrary unit. Good translating. Misha

bromsulphalein test
Type: Term

Definitions:
1. obsolete test for liver function (hepatic excretory capacity) in which a known amount of dye, usually 5 mg/kg of body weight, is injected intravenously; subsequently (usually after 45 minutes elapsed time), the amount of dye remaining in the serum is measured; a concentration of 0.4 mg or less of bromsulphalein per 100 mL of serum or less than 4% of the injected dye is considered normal; bromsulphalein retention may follow decreased hepatic blood flow or biliary obstruction as well as hepatic cell damage.

The first column of the table is headed 'Vyšetření', and the first two items in this column are 'BSP křivka' and 'BSP-test' - I believe this is what is known as the Bromsulphalein test. 'Bromsulphalein', the dictionary tells me, is a trademark for a preparation of sulphobromophthalein sodium.

Dylan, is there any explanation/reference/info on the test used, what is BSP, any other lead?
