Pathology is a medical specialty concerned with the investigation of disease through the examination of clinical specimens and interpretation of laboratory findings. These findings can help clinicians assess symptoms, investigate suspected conditions, evaluate disease processes and support decisions about further testing or treatment. Clinical pathology involves the interpretation of laboratory investigations, while hematology focuses on blood and blood-related disorders. Histopathology examines tissue specimens, and cytopathology evaluates cells and cellular material. These disciplines may provide complementary information depending on the patient's condition and the clinical question being investigated. Pathology findings are considered alongside a patient's symptoms, medical history, physical examination and other relevant investigations. Appropriate specimen handling, laboratory quality assurance and clear reporting contribute to dependable diagnostic services. The type of investigation required depends on the patient's clinical needs. Availability of individual laboratory tests, specialised stains, cytology procedures and other diagnostic services should be confirmed with the hospital.
