I think its ASTOS. I got that I think its ASTOS. It screens bacteria causing rheumatism in your body and I think, it is also used to measure the speed in which people's blood coagulates and determine the cell count in order to be able to rule out or diagnose diseases such as cancer, leukemia and lupus.
Its called ASO (antistreptolisine O) in English, there is a lot of info on that.
Hope you find that useful.

I wasnt diagnosed with any bacteria related disorder, I just happen to not have the necessary coagulating enzymes and all I can do is get transfusions when it gets bad.
