agree Dr. Jason Faulkner : In the spirit of translating common abbreviations to their equivalent, I'd translate this as "Sx".

agree Charles Davis : Insulin resistance syndrome: they mean sd. de resistencia a insulina. The capital D of De following sd. is almost certainly the result of automatic capitalisation after a full stop. Some programs (e.g. Excel) are set up to do this by default (v. annoying)

= syndrome

A total guess, but seems logical in the context.
"Insulin resistance is a condition in which the cells of the body become resistant to the hormone insulin. Insulin resistance may be part of the metabolic syndrome, and it has been associated with higher risk of developing heart disease. Insulin resistance precedes the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D)."
Peer comment(s):

agree Joseph Tein : Bravo Neil, so you've decided that acronyms/abbreviations can be translated by the translator at times? And this need not be a total guess ... you've seen me recommend Cosnautas dozens of times probably. It's in there, along with about 30,000 others.
