Anatomic pathology and clinical pathology represent distinct branches within the field of pathology. Anatomic pathology focuses on the examination of tissues, cells, and organs to identify diseases and abnormalities. It often involves analyzing biopsies and surgical specimens. Clinical pathology, on the other hand, deals with bodily fluids like blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid. Clinical pathologists at the pathology labs in Pondicherry perform tests to diagnose diseases, monitor organ function, and assess treatment effectiveness.
