Description

Orosomucoid is a glycoprotein found in the blood that plays a role in immune response and inflammation. It is often measured in clinical settings to assess inflammatory conditions and monitor disease activity.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that 'orosomucoide' is the standard term used in clinical contexts. Colloquial or regional alternatives may include 'alfa-1 glicoproteína ácida', but it is recommended to stick to the glossary term to avoid confusion. Ensure clarity in communication, particularly when discussing laboratory results.
