Either an infection is active or you have cancer or you have a problem with the bone marrow or you are bleeding
Platelet Count
In a hematology test, PLT stands for platelet count. Platelets are small cell fragments in the blood that help with clotting and preventing excessive bleeding. Abnormal platelet counts can indicate various medical conditions such as thrombocytopenia (low platelet count) or thrombocytosis (high platelet count).
LFT stands for liver function test. If the LFT test is abnormal, it could mean that the patient is suffering from chronic liver disease. However, it could also be indicative of a health problem in another region of the body.
Platelet Count
MP in a blood test typically stands for mean platelet volume. It is a measure of the average size of platelets in the blood and can provide information about platelet production and function. Normal MP levels can help to rule out certain medical conditions.
What is the Platelet Count Test?
To calculate the mean platelet volume (MPV), you need a complete blood count (CBC) test that provides the platelet count and the volume of platelets. MPV is typically calculated by dividing the total volume of platelets by the number of platelets present in the sample. The formula can be expressed as MPV = (Total platelet volume / Total platelet count). This value helps assess platelet function and can be an indicator of various health conditions.
"PIT" on a blood test typically refers to "Platelet Immune Test," which is used to assess the presence of antibodies that may be causing low platelet levels or platelet dysfunction. It helps diagnose conditions such as immune thrombocytopenia.
Electroretinography (ERG) is an eye test used to detect abnormal function of the retina (the light-detecting portion of the eye).
Abnormal crystals and amorphous sediment are findings in a urine test, not a blood test. Suggests stones.
A chemical that is added to the blood sample in the platelet aggregation test to stimulate the clumping process.
LFT stands for Liver Function Test. It is a group of blood tests that assess the health and function of the liver by measuring levels of enzymes, proteins, and other substances produced by the liver. Abnormal results can indicate liver damage or disease.
