How Can Histology Aid in Diagnosing Metabolic Disorders?
Histology is instrumental in diagnosing metabolic disorders. Tissue biopsies and their subsequent histological analysis can detect abnormalities in cell structure and function that are indicative of metabolic dysfunctions. For example, liver biopsies can identify the stages of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, while muscle biopsies can uncover mitochondrial abnormalities linked to metabolic myopathies.
