What is a Blood Film Test?

A blood film, also known as a peripheral blood smear, is a detailed examination of blood cells under a microscope. It is one of the most informative diagnostic tools for evaluating the health and function of various blood cell lines.

Diagnostic Use of Blood Film Analysis

The blood film test is essential for identifying abnormalities in white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets. It aids in the diagnosis of a wide range of conditions, including infections, anaemia, blood cancers, and clotting disorders.
