Peripheral Blood Smear (PBS) (HM0082)

Description

Peripheral Blood Smear (PBS) is a microscopic examination of stained blood cells used to evaluate the morphology of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. This test is essential for diagnosing and monitoring anemia, infections, leukemias, platelet disorders, and other hematological abnormalities. PBS provides detailed cellular information that complements automated Complete Blood Count (CBC) results and helps identify abnormal cells, parasites, and morphological changes.

Pre-Test Instructions:

1. No fasting required — you can eat and drink normally unless your doctor has ordered other fasting blood tests together.
2. Inform your doctor/lab if you are currently taking any medications, especially iron supplements, chemotherapy drugs, or steroids, as these can affect blood cell morphology.
3. Avoid vigorous exercise or dehydration before blood collection; both can temporarily alter blood cell appearance.
