SR HEMOGLOBINA
SR HEMATOCRITO
...
SP PLAQUETAS
SP VPM
SP PDW
SB LEUCOCITOS
FM Blastos absolutos
FM Blastos
FM Mielocitos

Sorry, I should have added:
SR = serie roja = red blood cell series
SB = serie blanca = white blood cell series
SP = serie plaquetaria = platelet series
Note from asker:
Of course! Why didn't I see that?

Maybe? Or frotis médula ósea (seems less likely if these are all from a blood test)? It is harder to pin this one down.
agree liz askew : Oh yes!!

Lacked room, but FM is fórmula magistral =pharmaceutical compounding
Example sentence:

SB is the baseline situation

Peer comment(s):

disagree philgoddard : Supranational metastasis? Is that cancer that's so bad it spreads to another country?

The smart ass response is not really necessary Phil.
disagree María Patricia Arce : Blood test. Spanish to English

disagree Joseph Tein : complete guesses without thought about the context ... what does systolic pressure have to do with a platelet count? what does 'formula magistral' ( a pharmaceutical term ) have to do with bone marrow cells?
