French term or phrase: numération globulaire vs formule sanguine
Can someone please tell me what the difference is between these 2, as I would probably have translated both as "CBC" or "FBC"?

This is from a blood test results table:

NG: Hématies
NG: Hémoglobine
NG: Hématocrite
NG: VGM

FS: PN (%)
FS: PE (%)
FS: PB (%)
FS: Lymphocytes (%)
FS: Monocytes (%)

etc...

Thanks!

Red blood (cell) count vs hemogram (CBC)


Explanation:
The Hemogram gives more information than just red blood cell count .
L’hémogramme ou numération de la formule sanguine (NFS) permet de comptabiliser tous les éléments du sang : globules rouges (hématies), globules blancs (leucocytes) et plaquettes.

Les globules rouges transportent l’oxygène grâce à l’hémoglobine. Les globules blancs protègent l’organisme contre les infections. Les plaquettes jouent un rôle essentiel dans la coagulation puisqu’elles comblent les brèches provoquées par des coupures ou des plaies juste après qu’elles se produisent et avant que les autres facteurs de coagulation ne se déclenchent.

Cet examen permet également d'apprécier des paramètres qualitatifs du sang.

Certains paramètres liés à ces éléments sont mesurés (taux d'hémoglobine, volume globulaire moyen = VGM) et d'autres sont calculés (hématocrite, teneur corpusculaire moyenne en hémoglobine = TCMH, concentration corpusculaire moyenne en hémoglobine = CCMH). D'autres indices (Indice de distribution des globules rouges ou des plaquettes) peuvent également être calculés par les automates de numération.

White blood cell count, red blood cells count, platelet count versus full blood count


Explanation:
Well, this is my understanding:

https://www.myeloma.org.uk/understanding-myeloma/diagnosis/

numeration globulaire =

Red blood cell count: a low count shows you are anaemic
White blood cell counts: low counts of some or all of the different white blood cells indicate you are at greater risk of infection
Platelet count: a low count shows you are at an increased risk of bleeding or bruising more easily than normal

disagree  Drmanu49: Blood film would be frottis./Frottis is not synonymous with formule sanguine. It is a technique used to detect abnormal RBC shape for example.

  -> yes - frottis sanguine (FS) - not sure why you disagree? This determines the relative percentages of the WBCs, which is what is shown here. and is frequently performed with a complete blood count - as here
