Clinical Pahology
Clinical Pathology is a branch of laboratory medicine that focuses on the diagnosis of diseases by analyzing bodily fluids (such as blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid) and tissues. It integrates various disciplines, including clinical biochemistry, hematology, microbiology, immunology, and molecular pathology, to provide essential diagnostic information for patient care.
Importance of Clinical Pathology
Histopathology
Examines tissue samples under a microscope to diagnose diseases like cancer, infections, and inflammatory conditions. Helps doctors understand the extent and nature of tissue damage.
Cytopathology
Focuses on analyzing individual cells from bodily fluids or tissues to detect cancer, infections, and other cellular abnormalities. Common tests include Pap smears and fine-needle aspirations.
Clinical Pathology
Performs lab tests on blood, urine, and other body fluids to diagnose conditions like diabetes, infections, and organ dysfunction. Plays a key role in routine health monitoring.
Forensic Pathology
Investigates suspicious or unexplained deaths by conducting autopsies to determine cause, manner, and time of death. Helps in criminal investigations and legal proceedings.
