Pathology

Pathology is a vital medical specialty that focuses on the study and diagnosis of diseases by examining tissues, organs, bodily fluids, and cells. It plays a crucial role in understanding the underlying causes of illnesses, guiding treatment decisions, and monitoring the progress of diseases. Pathologists are highly trained physicians who analyze samples obtained from patients to provide valuable information to other healthcare professionals.

Srinivasa Hospital’s Pathology Department is an integral part of the healthcare system, contributing significantly to patient care and treatment outcomes. The department is equipped with advanced laboratory facilities and employs skilled pathologists, laboratory technicians, and support staff to perform a wide range of diagnostic tests and analyses.

One of the primary functions of the Pathology Department is to process and examine tissue samples obtained through procedures such as biopsies, surgeries, and autopsies. These samples are carefully analyzed under microscopes and using specialized techniques to identify abnormal cellular changes, tumors, infections, inflammatory conditions, and other pathological findings.

In addition to tissue analysis, the department conducts various laboratory tests on blood, urine, stool, and other bodily fluids. These tests help in diagnosing conditions such as infections, metabolic disorders, autoimmune diseases, hormonal imbalances, and blood-related disorders like anemia and clotting disorders.

The Pathology Department utilizes state-of-the-art technology and methodologies for accurate and timely diagnostics. This includes immunohistochemistry, molecular testing, flow cytometry, cytogenetics, and other specialized techniques that provide detailed insights into disease mechanisms and help tailor treatment plans for individual patients.

The commitment to excellence in pathology services at Srinivasa Hospital reflects its dedication to delivering comprehensive and high-quality healthcare to patients, encompassing not only diagnosis but also disease understanding, prevention, and management.
