Study Notes
Clinical Pathology vs Anatomic Pathology
- Clinical Pathology focuses on the diagnosis and management of diseases through laboratory tests of bodily fluids, such as blood and urine.
Anatomic Pathology
- Anatomic Pathology is mainly concerned with the diagnosis of diseases based on the examination of tissues and cells.
- Macroscopy in Anatomic Pathology refers to the examination of tissues and organs with the naked eye or with a magnifying glass.
- Histochemical evaluation in Anatomic Pathology involves the use of chemicals to identify specific structures or substances in tissues, aiding in diagnosis.
- Immunohistochemical evaluation in Anatomic Pathology uses antibodies to identify specific proteins or markers in tissues, helping to diagnose and classify diseases.
