URGENT! Sottosaturazione

Italian to English Medical Medical (general)
Sorry for the urgency...

From a journal article concerning kidney stone recurrence in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism after surgery or treatment with medication:

Le soprassaturazioni urinarie per l’ossalato di calcio (ßCaOx) e per il fosfato di calcio (ßbsh)
sono state calcolate in base alle concentrazioni di Na, K, Ca, P, Cl, Mg, Ossalato, Solfato, Citrato,
Bicarbonato, Ammonio e pH urinari, mediante un software dedicato (Lithorisk2 ®).
Valori > 1 indicano soprassaturazione, valori < 1, sottosaturazione.

So, "supersaturation" for "soprassaturazione" but "subsaturation" gets no hits (in this context from reputable sources).

Thanks in advance.

Clare I found these, some of which look authoritative enough
