Pathology is the study of disease and the changes in cells, tissues, and organs that occur as a result of disease. It is a medical specialty that involves the examination of tissues and fluids to diagnose disease and determine the cause of death.
Pathologists use various techniques, such as microscopy and biochemical tests, to examine tissues and fluids and make a diagnosis. They also use specialised tests to identify the presence of infectious agents, such as bacteria and viruses, and to identify genetic mutations that may cause or contribute to disease.
