What is the Role of Histology in Diagnosing Muscular Disorders?

Histological analysis is pivotal for diagnosing muscular disorders. Muscle biopsies are obtained from patients and examined under a microscope. This allows pathologists to identify specific histopathological features that are characteristic of different muscular disorders. For example, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy shows extensive muscle fiber degeneration and regeneration, while Myasthenia Gravis may not show definitive histological changes but can be diagnosed through other tests.
