How Does Histology Help in Understanding Chronic Diseases?
Histology provides insights into the cellular and tissue-level changes associated with chronic diseases. For instance, in diabetes mellitus, histological examination of pancreatic tissues can reveal the extent of damage to the islets of Langerhans, which are responsible for insulin production. Similarly, in chronic kidney disease, histology helps assess glomerular and tubular damage, aiding in the evaluation of disease progression and treatment efficacy.
