How Does Histology Help in Diagnosing Metabolic Conditions?
Histology, the study of tissues at the microscopic level, is crucial in diagnosing metabolic conditions. By examining tissue samples, histologists can identify abnormalities in cell structure, accumulation of metabolic by-products, and other pathological changes. For instance, liver biopsies can reveal fat accumulation in cases of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
