Pathological anatomy unit at Hospital del Guadalentín

Our Pathological anatomy Laboratory is the epicenter of a multidisciplinary team dedicated to the research and diagnosis of diseases through the microscopic study of tissues and cells. 

Our mission is to provide accurate and timely diagnoses that guide the appropriate medical treatment for each patient. 

What is pathological anatomy?

Pathological anatomy is a fundamental branch of medicine that focuses on the study of diseases at the cellular and tissue levels. 

The main goal of Pathological anatomy is to diagnose diseases by examining the microscopic alterations in the structure and function of tissues and cells. These alterations can be caused by various conditions, such as inflammatory processes, infections, benign or malignant tumors, among others. 

Pathological anatomy laboratory: Common analyses

In the Pathological anatomy Laboratory at Hospital del Guadalentín, we perform a variety of specialized analyses to diagnose diseases and guide medical treatment. Some of the most common analyses we conduct include: 

  • Biopsies to evaluate the presence of structural and cellular anomalies. 
  • Cytologies obtained from bodily fluids such as blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, or respiratory secretions. 
  • Tumor studies determine their nature, degree of differentiation, and specific characteristics. 
  • Evaluation of organ samples obtained during surgeries or autopsies to identify diseases. 

Importance of pathological anatomy and cytopathology

The importance of these analyses is multifaceted and encompasses several key aspects of healthcare and modern medicine. They are crucial for: 

  1. Making an accurate diagnosis. 
  2. Planning treatment and providing a prognosis assessment. 
  3. Selecting personalized therapies. 
  4. Monitoring treatment progress. 

Undoubtedly, Pathological anatomy plays a fundamental role in improving clinical outcomes and patients’ quality of life. In our hospital, we have a team of specialized physicians for these analyses to ensure quick, efficient, and accurate results.
