Spanish term or phrase: El investigador se comunicará y realizará un seguimiento adecuado
El investigador se comunicará y realizará un seguimiento adecuado de todos los pacientes que, según el criterio del investigador, hayan obtenido valores clínicamente importantes en los análisis.


Todos los análisis de laboratorio cuyos valores sean anormales y que alcancen un grado clínicamente importante luego de la administración del producto de prueba, deberán realizarse nuevamente hasta regresar a los valores normales o de la referencia o, en caso de una alteración permanente, hasta que la afección se estabilice. Si esto no ocurre dentro de un tiempo razonable, se deberá identificar la etiología y se informará al patrocinador.

My interpretation of this is that all the patients who obtain significant (in teh stats sense) values in the analyses should be suitably followed up and the corresponding data should be notified, although to whom I can't say, but probably to the sponsor via the CRFs.

In reponse to Karina's response to my disagree, I see her point, but I too have translated many clinical trials, and I have never seen a specific mention of "contacting patients for follow-up", as why bother being so specific in a text for experts. They are available (with contact details on record etc) except when they are rated as "lost to follow-up".

ALSO, I'm beginning to think that "seguimiento" is not "follow-up" but MONITORING.
