- What are pathology tests done at Labs/Hospitals used for?
Pathology is a branch of medical science that examines the body fluids, tissue and organs to identify the disease process at the minute (microscopic) level, which helps doctors to diagnose or monitor disease and decide the suitable treatment plans.
Contrary to popular notion, pathologist does not only examine blood, urine & semen. They also do FNACS, biopsies & Bone marrow examination along with pre, intra & post-operative tissue examination. Based on the findings, the most probable diagnosis is made.
Sometimes further advanced investigation (IHC/molecular) or repeat investigation is advised. The microscope is the primary tool for a pathologist, along with so many other minor & major instruments.
When the reports are ready, your treating doctor will make a diagnosis based on the report in correlation with your sign & symptoms & then he will decide the most the appropriate treatment plan for you.
Fasting is not required for all tests. It is required for only a few special tests for example fasting blood sugar, Serum cholesterol etc. When it is required, lab staff or the doctor will inform you in advance. 8-12 hrs of overnight fasting is preferred. Only sips of water are allowed. No liquid /semi-solid or solid food is allowed. Routine medication is allowed after consulting with a doctor.
The time required for reports depends on which test has been ordered.
- Routine blood & urine tests – Same day
- FNACs/Body fluids – Same day /next day
- Biopsies – 2-3 days.
Test done at pathology are used for the following:
- To make a definite diagnosis of disease.
- To decide the treatment process (Surgical/medical) & treatment duration as well as to monitor the response of treatment.
- Screening for disease.
