administered within the past 10 days.

2.
Obtain the patient’s baseline (pre-drug) PAU result. Enter the baseline PAU result
in the space indicated “Here”, press the Tab key, and re-enter the baseline PAU
result in the space indicated “AND here” (Figure 6-18). Press the Next key to
display the percent inhibition. In the example (Figure 6-19), if the baseline result
was 328 PAU and the post-drug result was 16 PAU, this would calculate to 95%
inhibition.
