How is Histology Used in Diagnosing Inflammatory Diseases?
Histological analysis is also essential for diagnosing inflammatory diseases such as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. By examining tissue samples from the affected organs, pathologists can identify characteristic features of inflammation, such as granulomas in Crohn's disease or crypt abscesses in ulcerative colitis. This helps in confirming the diagnosis and monitoring the disease's progression and response to treatment.
