Yes, and instead of being polite and helpful, I can openly disagree too. Cheers! And I am relaxed.
Michelle Wolfson Jul 8, 2011:
Relax, Liz. In this forum, we as translators can offer suggestions to other translators who are stuck or need advice from another expert. It is ultimately up to the translator in need to look at those suggestions and figure out which one, if any, fits the scope of the project.
Ray Ables (asker) Jul 8, 2011:
Thanks Liz! 'preciate it!
liz askew Jul 8, 2011:
You may well find out further on in the text what IVAI refers to exactly:)
liz askew Jul 8, 2011:
i.e. the patient is at end-stage...OK.
Ray Ables (asker) Jul 8, 2011:
yes it seems the patient is still alive... I just started working on this and there are a couple dozen pages, so I'll just keep going and come back to this later. Thanks
liz askew Jul 8, 2011:
The sentence afterwards may help, if there is one. Is the patient still alive?
Ray Ables (asker) Jul 8, 2011:
Could it be... Indice de Volumen de Aurícula Izquierda? Doesn't really seem to fit...

Myocardial dysfunction and pulmonary edema post parathyroidectomy: the role of hypocalcemia.

Abstract
Cardiac disease is a common cause of morbidity in dialysis patients. Traditional and unique risk factors have both been incriminated in the pathogenesis of abnormal cardiac function in these patients. In the present report, we focus on the role of hypocalcemia post parathyroidectomy as a cause of abnormal myocardial function leading to pulmonary edema in a young peritoneal dialysis patient with angiographically-proven normal coronary arteries. The pulmonary edema reversed with correction of the hypocalcemia. Hypocalcemia should be added to the differential diagnosis of contributors to cardiac dysfunction in patients on dialysis. Post parathyroidectomy, patients may be at particular risk for this complication because of severe, protracted hypocalcemia.

IVAI can also mean Left atrial volume index (LAVI)

A journal from 1990 also shows IVAI as "Indice de vaciamiento auricular izquierdo"

Thanks for your suggestion Michelle!
Peer comment(s):

disagree liz askew : This makes no sense whatsoever in the context.

A simple disagree would suffice. None of the options offered directly relate to kidney failure. Your final answer may be on the right track, but clearly there is more than one meaning for these initials. I'm sure the asker will be able to figure it out.
