From a hospital admittance record in Spain:

El original se refiere implícitamente a la estabilidad de los valores de creatinina con respecto a controles analíticos previos. Me gusta la opción de Muriel de consistent with, aunque no estoy seguro de cómo armar la frase completa en inglés. Tal vez algo así como stable creatinine values sería una aproximación válida también.

You're right about "admission", Joseph. The title of the file itself is "Admitting History and Physical". I guess I let that influence me. ;)
Joseph Tein Apr 24, 2019:
admission I would use hospital "admission" record if your document includes any mention of the patient's admission. Compare online instances of "hospital admittance record" versus "hospital admission record."

Regarding "tónica" -- here is what the DRAE has to say about it:

Tono, característica general o tendencia perceptibles en una obra, actividad o situación. La indiferencia fue la tónica del curso.

Something like "along the same lines" or "the same general trends as in past laboratory results."
