available at the time of prescription order registration. When the prescribing physician registers the prescription order, the laboratory data information is printed on a separate sheet at the same time as when the prescription is printed from the electronic medical records system. Both items are given to the patient by the prescribing physician. The patient then brings the laboratory data information and the prescription to the community pharmacy and submits them together. The symbols in the figure are as follows: (a) (Apr 1) indicates the measurement date. (b) H indicates a value higher than the reference range. (c) L indicates a value lower than the reference range. (d) *** indicates that there is no measured value within the last 100Ā days. Laboratory items are abbreviated as follows: eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate (mL/min); CRE, creatinine (mg/dL); Cys-C, cystatin C (mg/dL); AST, aspartate aminotransferase (U/L); ALT, alanine aminotransferase (U/L); ALP, alkaline phosphatase (U/L); T-BIL, total bilirubin (mg/dL); K, potassium (mmol/L); WBC, white blood cell count (× 1000/µL); SEG, segmented cell (%); ST., stab cell (%); HGB, hemoglobin (g/dL); PLT, platelet count (× 1000/µL); CK, creatine kinase (U/L); TSH, thyroid-stimulating hormone (µIU/mL); HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c (%); Na, sodium (mmol/L).
