Live blood analysis (LBA), sometimes called live cell analysis, is a process in alternative medicine which involves high-resolution observation of live blood cells using dark field microscopy. The procedure consists of taking a drop of blood from the patient's fingertip, putting on a glass slide, and viewing it via a microscope on a video screen.

Live blood analysis is an unestablished diagnostic test[1] promoted by some alternative medicine practitioners, who assert that it can diagnose a range of diseases. There is no scientific evidence that live blood analysis can detect any disease state, and it has been described by medical authorities as a fraudulent means of convincing a patient that they are ill and require treatment with dietary supplements
