About Pathologist Doctors

How Pathologists Help Diagnose Your Condition

Cancer Diagnosis (Histopathology)

Pathologists examine biopsy tissue under the microscope to confirm cancer, determine type, grade, and molecular markers guiding treatment.

Blood Disorders (Haematopathology)

Diagnosis of leukaemia, lymphoma, anaemia, and clotting disorders through blood smear examination, bone marrow biopsy, and flow cytometry.

Cervical Screening (Cytopathology)

Pap smear and liquid-based cytology screening for cervical cancer — the most preventable cancer in women.

Infection Identification (Microbiology)

Culture and sensitivity testing to identify the exact organism causing infection and which antibiotics will work.

Kidney Biopsy Interpretation

Renal pathology is a subspecialty — kidney biopsies need expert interpretation including immunofluorescence and electron microscopy.

Lab Test Tips

Follow fasting instructions for blood tests
Collect urine samples correctly
Don't panic over a single abnormal result
Keep copies of all your lab reports
Ask your doctor to explain results you don't understand

How to Prepare for Pathology Tests

Before Your Visit

Follow fasting instructions — 8-12 hours for lipid profile and fasting glucose
Inform about all medications — some drugs (blood thinners, steroids) affect test results
For Pap smear: avoid intercourse, douching, and vaginal medications for 48 hours before the test
For biopsy: understand the procedure, risks, and ask about sedation options

During the Appointment

For blood tests: stay relaxed — stress can affect some results. Inform if you have difficult veins
For urine samples: use midstream clean-catch technique for accurate results
For biopsy: local anaesthesia will be provided. Report any pain during the procedure
Ask how and when you will receive results — some labs offer online access

After the Visit

Keep copies of ALL pathology reports — they are valuable for future reference and second opinions
Don't interpret reports yourself from internet searches — discuss with your treating doctor
For biopsy site: follow wound care instructions and report excessive bleeding or infection signs
If results are abnormal: don't panic. Discuss with your doctor who will explain the findings in clinical context

Questions to Ask About Your Pathology Results

1.Can you explain my biopsy report in simple terms?
2.Is this cancer or can it be something else?
3.Should I get a second pathology opinion?
4.What molecular tests are needed for my tumour?
5.How long will the final pathology report take?
6.Is the lab NABL-accredited?

What Does a Pathologist Do?

A Pathologist is a behind-the-scenes doctor who diagnoses diseases by examining blood, tissue, and body fluids. You rarely see them directly — they guide your treating doctor's decisions.

Biopsy interpretation — is it cancer?
Abnormal blood test results needing expert review
Pap smear or cervical biopsy reading
Bone marrow biopsy interpretation
Infection identification from cultures

Pathologists are the 'doctor's doctor' — their accurate diagnosis is the foundation of your treatment plan.
