Pathology
Pathology
Pathology is the study of diseases and how they affect the body. At SAS Hospital, our pathology department is crucial for diagnosing and understanding various health conditions. When you visit us with any health issue, our pathologists are likely to be involved in analyzing samples to identify the problem accurately
What Does a Pathology Department Do?
- Laboratory Testing: Our pathology lab conducts various tests on blood, urine, tissues, and other bodily fluids. These tests help diagnose a wide range of conditions, from infections to chronic diseases like diabetes and cancer. For instance, blood tests can measure glucose levels to check for diabetes or cholesterol levels to assess heart disease risk.
- Biopsies: When there’s a need to examine tissues more closely, a biopsy might be performed. This involves taking a small sample of tissue from the body to look for abnormalities, such as cancer cells. Biopsies are crucial in diagnosing cancers and other conditions that affect specific tissues.
- Blood Tests: Common blood tests include checking for anemia, infections, clotting disorders, and metabolic conditions. For example, a Complete Blood Count (CBC) can provide information about the number and types of cells in your blood, helping to diagnose conditions like anemia or infections.
- Microbiology: This area focuses on identifying infections caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites. It helps in determining the right treatment for infections. For example, a throat swab might be analyzed to detect strep throat, or a urine sample might be tested for a urinary tract infection.
- Cytology: This involves examining cells from body tissues or fluids to diagnose diseases. A common example is the Pap smear, which screens for cervical cancer by detecting abnormal cells in the cervix.
- Histopathology: This is the examination of tissues under a microscope to study the manifestations of disease. It is essential in diagnosing conditions like cancer by examining the structure and function of tissues.
Our Commitment to Quality
We use state-of-the-art equipment and follow stringent protocols to ensure the accuracy of our tests. Our team of experienced pathologists and lab technicians works tirelessly to deliver results you can trust. For instance, our lab uses advanced imaging techniques and automated analyzers to ensure precision and reliability in every test.
Innovative Techniques and Equipment
Our pathology department employs innovative techniques such as molecular diagnostics, which analyze genetic material to diagnose diseases at a molecular level. This can be particularly useful in identifying genetic disorders and certain types of cancers. We also use digital pathology, which involves scanning traditional glass slides to create high-resolution digital images. This technology enhances accuracy and allows for remote consultations with specialists worldwide.
Comprehensive Testing Panels
We offer comprehensive testing panels that cover a wide range of health issues. For example, our cardiac panel includes tests for markers like troponin and creatine kinase, which are essential in diagnosing heart attacks. Our diabetic panel includes tests for HbA1c and fasting glucose levels, providing a complete picture of your blood sugar control.
Patient-Friendly Approach
Understanding medical terms can be overwhelming, but our team ensures that you receive clear explanations and support. We believe in keeping you informed and involved in your healthcare journey. Our pathologists and lab technicians take the time to explain your test results, what they mean for your health, and the next steps in your treatment plan.

Collaboration with Healthcare Providers
Our pathologists work closely with other healthcare providers to ensure a coordinated approach to your care. This collaboration is essential for developing effective treatment plans and improving patient outcomes. For example, if a biopsy reveals cancer, our pathologists will work with oncologists to determine the best course of action.

We are also involved in research and development, contributing to the advancement of medical science. Our pathology department participates in clinical trials and research studies to explore new diagnostic techniques and treatments. This not only helps improve our services but also contributes to the broader medical community.
