Usu

French to English translations [PRO]
Medical - Medical: Health Care
French term or phrase: Usu
From a list of laboratory tests:

Labo :

Coag [date/time]
Usu [date/time]

Any idea what 'Usu' is in this case? This is from nursing notes so there is a lot of shorthand.

Thanks!

Explanation:
Following the conversation, and especially based on Samuel's commentary, I propose this translation.

It's clear that "coag" refers to coagulation, as explained on the Ameli (French Health Services) website, and given the absence of "usu" in standard French medical abbreviations (see ref.), I think it may refer to some baseline or standard measurement, perhaps for comparison purposes.
