I am working on a document that includes some blood work results. The results include levels of total protein, albumin, total bilirubin and so on. 緊 appears right next to the numbers indicating measured levels. Here are some examples:
22総蛋白 9.2H緊
23アルプミン 3.4L緊
25総ビリルビン 0.3L緊
What exactly does 緊 indicate, and what is its English equivalent?
Any and all suggestions sincerely appreciated.

Critical (Panic) Value
「緊」from 「緊急」 meaning Critical/Panic values.
Critical/Panic values are defined as values that are outside the normal range to a degree that may constitute an immediate health risk to the individual or require immediate action on the part of the ordering physician.
パニック値とは、症状の急変や生命に危険を. 招く場合など、緊急時の病態を反映する検査値であり、緊. 急検査値、緊急異常値などともいわれる。

Note from asker:
| Thank you, Elena. FYI, there is an earlier Proz query on this point: https://www.proz.com/kudoz/japanese-to-english/medical-general/6641420-use-of-the-word-緊-in-a-japanese-blood-test-report.html. Should have checked the glossary first I guess. |
| Thank you, Elena. |

Japanese term (edited):
Urgent
緊
The blood test example values shown have an H or L suffix indicating "High" or "Low". This means that the measured result is outside the reference range of values. I think that 緊 (meaning urgent/emergency) after the measured value means something like "urgent attention required" or "emergency examination required" (緊検) .
Something went wrong...
