What Is Pathology?

Pathology is an important area of medicine that involves examining and analysing samples to provide information about a patient’s health and medical condition.

Depending on the investigation required, samples may include blood, urine, tissue or other specimens. Laboratory analysis of these samples can provide doctors and healthcare professionals with information that supports diagnosis, treatment and ongoing patient management.

The specific tests required will depend on the patient’s individual circumstances and will be determined by their treating doctor or healthcare professional.

Laboratory results provide healthcare professionals with additional clinical information that can be considered alongside a patient’s medical history, symptoms, examination and other investigations.
