Spanish term

T.P. (C+E)

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Spain
In laboratory report from Spain, under the "Coagulation" heading:

T.P. (seg)
T.P. (ratio)
T.P. (INR)
T.P. (C+E)
TPTA
TPTA (ratio)
Fibrinogeno
Dimeros D (D-D)

I know T.P. is Prothrombin Time but have not been able to find "C+E". Its unit of measure is seconds and the normal value is 11-16.
Proposed translations (English)
2 P.T. (C+E)

Thanks, Kathryn, yes, that reference certainly does make it look more likely.

You should post this as an answer, Robert. I agree with it now. Look at this and the 11-16 second reference.

Same here But that looks like a possibility.
Robert Carter May 16, 2017:
I've virtually no knowledge of this, so it's little more than a guess, but could it mean "vías común & extrínseca"?

P.T. (C+E)

Per the discussion, it's possible this means "vías común & extrínseca" (common and extrinsic pathways), but hopefully those with better knowledge can confirm or refute it:

The prothrombin time (PT)—along with its derived measures of prothrombin ratio (PR) and international normalized ratio (INR)—are assays evaluating the extrinsic pathway of coagulation. This test is also called "ProTime INR" and "PT/INR". They are used to determine the clotting tendency of blood, in the measure of warfarin dosage, liver damage, and vitamin K status. PT measures factors I (fibrinogen), II (prothrombin), V, VII, and X. It is used in conjunction with the activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) which measures the intrinsic pathway and common pathway.

This is from the link Kathryn so kindly provided:
TP
Valora las vías extrínseca y común de la coagulación, esta prueba determina el tiempo que tarda el plasma en coagularse al añadir calcio y factor hístico a una muestra de sangre. Es el más adecuado para la vigilancia de los anticoagulantes orales (warfa- rina, sintrom etc.)
El rango normal oscila entre los 11 – 16 segundos, la prolongación del TP en ausencia de anticoagulante sugiere un déficit de protrombina, fibrinógeno o alguno de los factores V, VII, o X.
