Spanish term

AG (medical report)

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Medical report
From medical reports from Colombia. This appears several times in a series of medical reports from between 2014 and 2017. I know that this can often stand for analítica general, but I don't see what the numbers mean. They don't seem to be a date.

Here they are in context:

Antecendentes transfusionales: AG 24/13 C.TOTAL 210 ELEVADO,C.HDL 47,C.LDL DIR 133,6 ELEVADO,TGC 147,GLIC 91.O POSITIVO, NO TRANSFUSIONES.

Observaciones:
AG 16/13
(then follows a list of all previous medical procedures - x-rays, operations, etc.)

In all the reports, the number given for AG is either 24/13 or 16/13.

I suggest: 'relación: albúmina / globulina' is possible, though it could be análitica general o antecedentes generales. Here's a reference to medical abbreviations:

But then again, if Agosto is August then also as the asker says "Why would they keep giving blood results for 2013 in reports for 2017?"
Agosto - August It looks like it refers to the results dated on August 24 and 13 of 2013

@Andres Your references don't work... http://www.scielo.org.co/ > Invalid
https://www.southtees.nhs.uk/ > It says We’re Coagulation, Reagent and Contract Manufacturing Experts but nothing in particular for //agregación plaquetaria > platelet aggregation//
The same goes for the other references as well. They have no context of //agregación plaquetaria > platelet aggregation//.... Could you please verify if these are the true references?
Sakshi Garg May 28:
@asker You make a good point. If //"AG 24/13"// and //"AG 16/13"// were referring to dates in 2013, it would not make sense for those same date values to appear repeatedly across medical reports spanning from 2014 to 2017.
Then probably, it seems more likely that //"AG"// is an abbreviation for some type of medical test or measurement, and the numbers 24/13 and 16/13 represent the actual test results or values, rather than dates.

Without being able to see the full medical reports and context, it's difficult to definitively determine what "AG" stands for. However, some possibilities based on common medical abbreviations could include:
Anion Gap (AG) - A measure of unmeasured ions in the blood
Antigen (Ag) - A substance that prompts an immune response
Antiglobulin (AG) - An antibody test
The numbers could represent normal/abnormal ranges for those test values.

Don't think it's an OCR issue Thanks for your comment. The documents don't seem to be scanned, so I don't think it's an OCR issue.

. General analysis seems to make the most sense here - could the numbers be an OCR mistake?

Reference:

Please check this info:

While //"AG"// can stand for various terms like antigen or anion gap, the context of comprehensive blood test results aligns more closely with //"analítica general."//

The 24/13 seems to be followed by various blood test results like total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides, and glucose levels. This suggests 24/13 could be the date when this set of blood tests was performed.

You mentioned it's followed by a list of previous medical procedures like X-rays and operations.... Putting this together, 16/13 could potentially be the date when these previous procedures/observations were recorded or took place....

So, //"analítica general"// > refers to to a comprehensive blood test or general analysis.

Note from asker:
Thanks for your comments. I thought about it being a date, but the reports are for various dates between 2014 and 2017, and all the "AG" results are 24/13 or 16/13. Why would they keep giving blood results for 2013 in reports for 2017?

neutral liz askew : how can 24/13 or 16/13 be dates? There are only 12 months in the year

13 is the year 2013 so, 24/2013 and 16/2013....
disagree philgoddard : Once again, your uncredited information source has got it completely wrong. I agree with Liz.
