Cell fragility causes smudge cells to appear on peripheral smears. Addition of albumin prior to slide preparation essentially coats the fragile cells, thus keeping them intact on smear preparation.

What causes smudge cells?

Smudge cells are caused by the mechanical disruption of fragile cells, such as lymphocytes, during the slide preparation process for blood smear examination. This can occur due to rough handling, poor staining techniques, or improper smear creation. Smudge cells are often seen in samples with high white blood cell counts and do not represent pathological changes in the cells themselves.
