Diagnosis Pathoanatomical

Pathological diagnosis (d.pathologoanatomicus) is a diagnosis that is made after a pathological and anatomical examination of biomaterial taken from the patient during surgery or autopsy.

A pathological diagnosis can be made based on various research methods, such as microscopy, histology, immunohistochemistry, electron microscopy and others.

The main goal of a pathological diagnosis is to determine the cause of death of the patient and identify possible complications that could lead to his death. This is important for determining treatment tactics and prognosis for the patient.

In some cases, a pathological diagnosis may be necessary to challenge the diagnosis made by the clinician. For example, if the clinician was unable to make the correct diagnosis or if the test results do not correspond to the clinical data.

It is important to note that the pathological diagnosis is not final and can be revised in the future with additional studies or if the clinical picture changes.

A pathological diagnosis consists of a description of all pathological changes identified during a microscopic examination of biopsy material or a pathological examination of a corpse.

A pathological-anatomical diagnosis is formulated on the basis of pathological-histological and pathological-morphological examination of biopsy or sectional material and reflects the nature, prevalence, localization and severity of pathological processes.

Pathological-anatomical diagnosis is the final stage of the pathological-anatomical examination of a corpse or biopsy (surgical) material and makes it possible to establish the final diagnosis of the disease.
