  -> Thanks Christopher :-)
agree  philgoddard: But how does this fit with Basis, Oberbauch, and Gerinnung?//Thanks for the explanation.
15 hrs
  -> a panel of basic blood tests (probably including blood counts, glucose, sodium, potassium), a panel for the investigation of upper abdominal complaints (e.g. pancreatic enzymes), and a coagulation panel (e.g. INR, aPTT)
agree  Marga Shaw: Yes, BE = Blutentnahme = blood sampling - for basic tests, tests for problems in the upper abdominal region and blood clotting. IMHO, I would not use lab panel for BE.

  -> Thanks Marga, what would you use?
agree  Lirka: It's not standard (I personally have never seen BE in this context in German reports) but it does fit medically, as Anne explained under Phil's comment
