Pathology
Pathology
Pathology is study of what causes disease and disease’s specific effects on biological tissues and fluids. Using morphologic and structural analysis of tissue and examination of the patient’s health history, the pathologist provides a pivotal diagnosis to oncologists, hematologists, and other physicians and helps direct the application of precision medicine for optimal patient outcomes. Pathologists are also responsible for overseeing and developing new laboratory tests for tissues and fluids, further contributing to the patient’s diagnostic profile, and ultimately, their health and healing.
Branches of pathology
Anatomical Pathology :
This area of pathology involves the examination of surgical specimens removed from the body or sometimes the examination of the whole body (autopsy) to investigate and daignose disease. On examining a biopsy, the following aspects are considered:
- Gross anatomical make up of the sample
- Microscopic appearance of cells
- Chemical signatures in the sample
- Immunological markers present in the cells
- Molecular biology of the cells, organs, tissues and sometimes whole body
Clinical pathology
This branch of pathology involves the laboratory analysis of body fluids (such as blood, urine or cerebrospinal fluid) and bodily tissue for the diagnosis of disease. Some of the main subspecialities of clinical pathology include:
- Chemical pathology, also called clinical chemistry, involves the assessment of various components in bodily fluids such as the blood or urine, although for the main part it concerns the analysis of blood serum and plasma.
- Immunology or immunopathology refers to the study of immune system disorders such as immunodeficiencies, organ-transplant rejection and allergies.
- Hematology or hematopathology concerns the investigation and diagnosis of blood diseases.
