Peripheral Blood Film - PBF

The peripheral blood film (PBF) is a laboratory work-up that involves cytology of peripheral blood cells smeared on a slide. As basic as it is, PBF is invaluable in the characterization of various clinical diseases. This article highlights the basic science and art behind the PBF.

Platelet Count - Plt

A platelet count is a lab test to measure how many platelets you have in your blood. Platelets are parts of the blood that helps the blood clot. They are smaller than red or white blood cells.

PSA Free

The free PSA test is sometimes given instead of a biopsy if your PSA levels are slightly elevated. It also may be used to give your doctor an idea of how aggressive the cancer is if your cancer has returned after treatment. PSA is tested by taking a sample of blood, usually from your arm

PSA Total

PTH Intact

Parathyroid hormone.

RA Factor

RBC Count

A red blood cell count is a blood test that your doctor uses to find out how many red blood cells (RBCs) you have. It's also known as an erythrocyte count. The test is important because RBCs contain hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to your body's tissues.

Recticulocyte Count - Retic

A reticulocyte count is used to determine the number and/or percentage of reticulocytes in the blood to help evaluate conditions that affect red blood cells (RBCs), such as anemia or bone marrow disorders. Reticulocytes are newly produced, relatively immature red blood cells.
