Peripheral Blood Film

A Peripheral Blood Film is a laboratory test where a small sample of blood is spread thinly on a glass slide, stained, and examined under a microscope. This allows doctors to observe the size, shape, and appearance of various blood cells, including red cells, white cells, and platelets. The test helps diagnose blood disorders such as anemia, infections, and blood cancers by providing detailed information on blood cell health and composition, guiding appropriate treatment decisions.
