Clinical pathology
Clinical pathology encompasses various laboratory functions aimed at diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases. Clinical pathologists are healthcare professionals specially trained in this field.
Clinical pathology tests involve analyzing bodily fluids like blood, urine, and tissue to diagnose diseases. It is one of the two main branches of pathology, alongside anatomic pathology. Many pathologists practice both clinical and anatomic pathology, known as general pathology.
Stool and urine examination are essential components of clinical pathology:
- Stool Analysis: Stool analysis helps identify diseases affecting the digestive tract, liver, and pancreas. It aids in diagnosing symptoms such as prolonged diarrhea, bloody diarrhea, increased gas, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, bloating, abdominal pain, cramping, and fever.
- Urinalysis: A urinalysis is a diagnostic test for urine that detects and manages various disorders, including urinary tract infections, kidney disease, and diabetes. It involves examining the appearance, concentration, and content of urine. Abnormal urinalysis results may indicate conditions such as cloudy urine due to a urinary tract infection or increased protein levels suggestive of kidney disease.
