Medical - Medical (general) / Lab tests
German term or phrase: n.nwb.
In a German laboratory report, in the urine "Stix" tests, in the column where a numerical reading is normally listed, the abbreviation "n. nwb." is given. I did find some documents with this also in the Internet, for example the following url:

http://kardiologie.klinikum.uni-muenchen.de/download/de/Vera...

(Page 6, bottom left is one example).

But I cannot think of what this abbreviation stands for. Appreciate any help.

Explanation:
Data: "As" is Below Detection Limits (BDL). Low sample vol ch2 (19.853 m3).
http://books.google.de/books?id=F_P2m7ZaPI8C&pg=RA1-PA56&lpg...

From a statistical perspective, these data present inferential challenges because instead of precise measures, one only has information that the value is somewhere between 0 and the DL (*below detection limit, BDL*).

Does a result of *"Not Detectable" (ND)* mean the sample is mercury free?

ND 0.1 = not detectable

More results for 'n.d.' and 'nd'...
