what is SBS lab test?

Can you call your lab or ordering MD to find out?

this is a guess, single blood sample, hope it helps

thanks

there is no real doctor to call - this is a hypothetical client

not sure what SBS means -

(but tomorrow I coincidentally have to visit the local lab,

so I'll ask them if they know what it is )

Serum blood sugar, just a guess though.

I thought serun blood sugar too--but not a real test--they're getting FBS--fasting blood sugar. Sometimes doc will write FSBS for "fingerstick blood sugar--maybe the preparer of the hypothetical orders left off the F

significant bacterial sepsis

shaken baby syndrome

short bowel syndrome

sheer bond strength (dental test on dentin)

sterile barrier system

What kind of patient is your hypothetical one?

the hypothetical patient is diabetic and has had a

nephrectomy, so SBS is one of the orders - along

with CBC, Hb, FBS, electrolytes

could SBS be some kind of bone scan?

Serial blood sugars?

I think it would be stat blood sugar.

Wait, is this one of those case study questions where it says which order to question? Then I say question that one because you are unfamiliar with the abbreviation and can't find another reference to it.

I still can't find anything

and I went into the lab to ask the staff

and she said she didn't know what SBS is.
