Blood and body fluids are analyzed for components such as glucose or cholesterol to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of your condition and to monitor individualized care.
- Cytology
Cytology includes evaluating pap smears or screening cells from body fluids for abnormalities and/or cancer.
- Hematology
Includes blood cell evaluation and ability of blood to clot.
- Histopathology
Specimens and tissues removed during surgery are examined to determine the absence or presence and nature of disease.
