Potenziali Evocati

I am fairly sure it refers to this.

I should have included more sources, but if you search for "potenziali evocati dolore addominale/pelvico" you'll find that PE are used as a diagnostic tool for pain in this area :)
Example sentence:

I potenziali evocati (PE) valutano le risposte generate nel sistema nervoso centrale o periferico a seguito di stimolazioni sensoriali, acustiche, visive, somatosensoriali o motorie con stimolazione magnetica.

Note from asker:
Grazie mille!
Peer comment(s):
neutral philgoddard : I don't think your confidence is justified. Evoked potential is used to test for MS and similar conditions.

I probably should have kept my confidence lower, but I had already translated some research about PE and had read additional sources apart from the one above. I knew it could be used to test for neuropathy or spinal nerve compression, hence for pain!

Here is a list of tests for abdominal pain
https://www.rcpa.edu.au/Manuals/RCPA-Manual/Clinical-Problem...

If ectopic pregnancy suspected:
Beta HCG quantitation on blood (EDTA or Heparin) or urine.
Peer comment(s):
neutral philgoddard : Maybe, but PE seems a very short abbreviation. Couldn't they just say "con EDTA"?

Italian term (edited): PE

LFT

Liver Function Test

In a list of blood tests, it seems more likely to be a blood test.

PE could be "profilo epatico"
Peer comment(s):
neutral philgoddard : I think this is the most likely answer so far, but we can't be sure.

Thank you Phil. Yes, we can't be sure, also because it is not used often with this meaning.
