Pathology and Histology Lab
Pathology and histology are critical fields in medical science that focus on diagnosing diseases, understanding their progression, and informing treatment decisions.
Pathology and Histology Lab is a specialized facility where tissue samples are microscopically examined and analyzed, providing essential information that supports clinical care and medical research.
1-Pathology
Pathology is the study of diseases—specifically their causes, development, and effects on the human body. Pathologists examine tissues, organs, and bodily fluids using various techniques such as:
- Chemical analysis
- Molecular testing
- Microbiological methods
These tools help identify abnormal cells or tissues and confirm medical diagnoses.
Surgical Pathology
This branch involves the examination of tissue specimens obtained through:
- Biopsies
- Surgical resections
- Autopsies
The goal is to determine the nature and stage of a disease, particularly cancers and other complex conditions.
2-Histology
Histology focuses on the microscopic structure of tissues. It plays a key role in pathology by revealing cellular and structural details necessary for diagnosis.
Pathology and Histology Lab typically performs the following functions:
- Sample Collection: Tissues come from biopsies, surgeries, or autopsies.
- Preparation: Samples are fixed, embedded, sliced, and stained.
- Examination: Pathologists examine the samples under a microscope.
- Diagnosis: Lab Findings help diagnose conditions like cancer, infections, and autoimmune diseases.
- Research : the lab also support studies that improve diagnostics and explore new treatments.
