I am a nursing student in Australia and I often read this ELU's abbreviation in our study plan. So it was written there that one of the order is daily ELU's. I tried to search it on the web and got no answer so I asked you instead. Some of my classmates don't even know it. But two of them said ELU means electrolytes. The heck!... so I guess it's daily electrolytes monitoring. I don't know where they got these abbreviations, just giving me a headache.
