Understanding Peripheral Smear Examination in Bhubaneshwar


What is Peripheral Smear Examination in Bhubaneshwar?

The Peripheral Smear Examination or peripheral blood smear test is a specialized test that helps assess differences in size, shape, shape, or appearance of blood cells (red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets). It is available at an affordable price in Bhubaneshwar with Tata 1mg Labs. It provides crucial insights into overall health and is usually recommended for detecting conditions like anemia, parasitic infections, bleeding disorders, certain cancers, and other blood-related diseases.

The Peripheral Smear Examination test also helps monitor treatment decisions in individuals on medications known to affect blood cell production. Your doctor may recommend this test if you notice symptoms such as fatigue, bruising, unusual bleeding, consistent fever, pinpoint red skin dots, or unintentional weight loss. No special preparation is needed for this test. You can eat or drink normally as per your daily routine. However, inform your doctor about any medications and supplements you take, as some may affect your test results.

What does Peripheral Smear Examination measure?

The Peripheral Smear Examination test is performed to check the characteristics of blood cells including:

  1. Red blood cells (RBCs)
  2. White blood cells (WBCs)
  3. Platelets

By placing the blood sample on a specifically treated slide, these blood components are analyzed under a microscope for their shape, size, and number. Any irregularity in these cells indicates blood disorders or abnormality, the presence of parasites in the blood, etc. This test is also a beneficial tool in monitoring a blood disease or deciding whether a certain medication or therapy is working effectively or not.

Answers to Patient Concerns & Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Peripheral Smear Examination in Bhubaneshwar


Frequently Asked Questions about Peripheral Smear Examination in Bhubaneshwar

Q. Why is the Peripheral Smear Examination test done?

The Peripheral Smear Examination test is usually done as a follow-up test to assess different types of blood cells when a complete blood count (CBC) test shows abnormal results. This test helps diagnose and monitor various conditions associated with blood cells.

Q. Is there any risk associated with the Peripheral Smear Examination test?

There is usually no risk associated with this test. However, some people may feel a slight sting when a needle is pricked and may also experience some bleeding, which is normal and usually not bothersome. Rarely, some people may also experience slight swelling or bruising at the site of the needle prick. Applying ice 3-4 times a day for about a week may help reduce swelling and bruising. If it does not get better, consult your doctor.

Q. How is the Peripheral Smear Examination test performed?

A phlebotomist (a trained professional to perform blood draws) will clean your skin using an antiseptic alcohol cotton swab or wipe, and take a blood sample from your vein using a needle. The blood sample will be stored safely and transported to the laboratory for analysis. In the laboratory, the blood sample is placed on a slide and observed under a microscope.

No fasting is required for this test. You can schedule it at your convenience without avoiding food or water beforehand.
