Pathology
Pathology is the branch of medical science that deals with the study of diseases and their effects on the body. It involves the examination and analysis of tissues, organs, bodily fluids, and cells to understand the nature, causes, development, and consequences of various diseases. Pathologists are medical professionals who specialize in this field and play a crucial role in diagnosing diseases, guiding treatment decisions, and conducting research to advance our understanding of health and disease.
At Varanasi Hospital, we provide various pathological services, including general pathology, biochemistry & haematology.
How does pathology contribute to patient care?
Pathologists provide essential information for diagnosing diseases and determining the most appropriate treatments. Their work helps ensure that patients receive the right care and treatment plans tailored to their specific conditions.
What are the main branches of pathology?
The department of pathology can be divided into several branches, including anatomic pathology (dealing with tissues and organs), clinical pathology (dealing with bodily fluids and laboratory tests), forensic pathology (investigating causes of death), molecular pathology (studying diseases at the molecular level), and neuropathology (focusing on diseases of the nervous system).
How does pathology contribute to medical research?
Pathologists are involved in medical research by studying disease mechanisms, conducting experiments, and analysing clinical data. Their research helps advance our understanding of diseases, leading to the development of new treatments, diagnostic tools, and preventative measures.
What is the significance of forensic pathology?
Forensic pathologists investigate the cause and manner of death in cases of suspicious or unexplained deaths. Their findings can be crucial in criminal investigations, determining whether a death was due to natural causes, accident, suicide, or homicide.
What is a biopsy, and why is it performed?
A biopsy is a medical procedure in which a small sample of tissue or cells is taken from the body and examined under a microscope. It is performed to diagnose or rule out various medical conditions, including cancer, infections, and inflammatory diseases.
