    • Blood Chemistry Tests: Analyze levels of different chemicals in the blood to assess organ function, such as liver and kidney tests.
  2. Urine Tests:
    • Urinalysis: Examines the content of your urine for signs of diseases like diabetes or kidney disorders.
    • Culture Tests: Identify infections by detecting bacteria or fungi in the urine.
  3. Tissue Biopsies:
    • Histopathology: Involves examining a sample of tissue under a microscope to detect abnormalities such as cancer.
    • Cytology: Studies cells in body fluids or tissues, often used in Pap smears for cervical cancer screening.
  4. Molecular Pathology:
    • Genetic Testing: Analyzes DNA to detect genetic disorders or predispositions to certain diseases.
    • PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction): Amplifies DNA sequences to diagnose infections or genetic mutations.
  5. Microbiology Tests:
    • Culture and Sensitivity: Grows bacteria from samples like throat swabs to identify infections and determine the best antibiotic treatment.
    • Rapid Tests: Provide quick results for conditions like strep throat or influenza.

  • Diagnosis: They help pinpoint the exact cause of symptoms.
  • Monitoring: They track the progress of diseases and the effectiveness of treatments.
  • Screening: They detect potential health issues before symptoms appear, such as in routine cholesterol tests.
  • Research: They provide data that help in understanding diseases better and developing new treatments.
