How is Histology Used in Monitoring Chronic Diseases?
In chronic diseases such as cirrhosis or fibrosis, histological examination provides insights into the extent of tissue damage and the progression of the disease. Liver biopsies, for example, can reveal the degree of fibrosis and help in staging the disease, which is crucial for prognosis and management. Similarly, renal biopsies can show glomerular and tubular changes in chronic kidney disease.
