Clinical Pathology services include Automated Urinanalysis, all Body fluid tests & Semen analysis.Clinical Pathologists perform quality assurance and supervision, provide interpretations of more complex results, and serve as consultants to clinicians to determine the appropriate testing for the diagnosis or the assessment of an individual patient’s condition.
- Histopathology section including Synaptic Reporting of Breast, Colon, Stomach, Ovarian& Uterine Carcinomas–we as anatomic pathologists have been moving more and more toward the molecular level to gain additional clinical information on individual specimens. Surgical pathology is a large area of practice for anatomic pathologists, involving examination of surgical specimens and biopsies from patients.
- Frozen Sections for rapid diagnosis including intra-operative consultations by the department of pathology
- Transplant biopsies (Renal, &Liver) are reported periodically.
- Autopsy pathology accounts for less than ten percent of the work of pathologists, it is the most commonly understood function of the pathologist. Clinical Fetal Autopsy services- Autopsies remain an important area of the modern practice of pathology and they are often equated in the popular imagination with it.
Cytopathology service provides a full range of cytology services, including exfoliative cytology and the performance of fine needle aspiration under guidance or freehand.
- Immunofluorescence on renal and skin biopsies

Complete Haemogram, QBC, Osmotic Fragility tests, HPLC in conjunction with Biochemistry, clinical workups for hemolytic & Nutritional Anemias, DCT & ICT - Coagulation profile studies including routine PT/APTT, mixing studies, Fibrinogen, D-Dimer and selective Factor assay, Work up of Bleeding and thrombotic disorders.
Clinical Pathology services include Automated Urinanalysis, all Body fluid tests & Semen analysis.Clinical Pathologists perform quality assurance and supervision, provide interpretations of more complex results, and serve as consultants to clinicians to determine the appropriate testing for the diagnosis or the assessment of an individual patient’s condition.
- Histopathology section including Synaptic Reporting of Breast, Colon, Stomach, Ovarian& Uterine Carcinomas–we as anatomic pathologists have been moving more and more toward the molecular level to gain additional clinical information on individual specimens. Surgical pathology is a large area of practice for anatomic pathologists, involving examination of surgical specimens and biopsies from patients.
- Frozen Sections for rapid diagnosis including intra-operative consultations by the department of pathology
- Transplant biopsies (Renal, &Liver) are reported periodically.
- Autopsy pathology accounts for less than ten percent of the work of pathologists, it is the most commonly understood function of the pathologist. Clinical Fetal Autopsy services- Autopsies remain an important area of the modern practice of pathology and they are often equated in the popular imagination with it.
Cytopathology service provides a full range of cytology services, including exfoliative cytology and the performance of fine needle aspiration under guidance or freehand.
- Immunofluorescence on renal and skin biopsies
- Immunohistochemistry with a panel of about 40 antibodies in all Breast cancers, GIT cancers, Small blue round cell tumours, Soft tissue sarcomas, Lymphoproliferative disorders & Undifferentiated malignancies
- Department of Pathology focuses on an integrative approach to the field, in which scientists and physicians strive to work in conjunction with each other to integrate the knowledge gained in research with the needs for patient care.
- Apart from academic excellence, the Department aims to strengthen molecular pathology with our College of Allied Health Sciences Molecular Department to enhance the efficiency of subspecialty branches under Pathology and also strives towards becoming a collaborative high impact research facility.
