Welcome to the Pathology Department at Ali Ahmad Khan Hospital. Our pathology team plays a vital role in the diagnosis and management of various diseases by analyzing laboratory specimens and providing accurate and timely results. We are committed to delivering high-quality pathology services to support healthcare providers and contribute to optimal patient care.
Pathology is a medical specialty that focuses on the study and diagnosis of diseases through the examination of bodily fluids, tissues, and cells. Our pathology department offers a wide range of services, including:
Clinical Pathology: Our clinical pathology services involve the analysis of blood, urine, and other bodily fluids to assess organ function, detect infections, monitor medication levels, and evaluate various metabolic conditions. We perform comprehensive laboratory tests to provide accurate diagnostic information.
Anatomic Pathology: Anatomic pathology involves the examination of tissue samples obtained from biopsies, surgeries, or autopsies. Our pathologists analyze these samples microscopically to diagnose diseases, determine the extent of tumors, identify infectious agents, and provide crucial information for treatment planning.
Histopathology: Histopathology is the examination of tissue specimens to study the microscopic changes associated with diseases. Our pathologists evaluate tissue samples to diagnose conditions such as cancers, inflammatory disorders, infections, and autoimmune diseases.
Cytopathology: Cytopathology involves the study of individual cells obtained through techniques like fine needle aspiration or Pap smears. Our pathologists examine these cells under the microscope to detect early signs of cancer, assess the presence of infection, and diagnose certain benign or malignant conditions.
Molecular Pathology: Molecular pathology analyzes genetic and molecular changes in tissues or bodily fluids. We use advanced techniques to identify specific mutations, genetic markers, and molecular alterations that can aid in diagnosis, prognosis, and personalized treatment approaches.
Blood Bank and Transfusion Services: Our pathology department also manages the hospital’s blood bank and provides safe and compatible blood products for transfusions. We follow strict protocols to ensure proper blood typing, screening for infectious diseases, and maintaining a reliable blood supply for patients in need.
