Histology can diagnose a variety of diseases, including:
Cancer: By examining the cellular structure and organization, pathologists can identify malignant cells and determine the type and grade of cancer. Inflammatory Diseases: Conditions like Crohn’s Disease or Ulcerative Colitis show characteristic inflammatory patterns in tissue samples. Infections: Histology can reveal the presence of pathogens such as bacteria, fungi, or parasites in tissue samples. Autoimmune Diseases: Diseases like Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis can be diagnosed by identifying immune cells and immune complexes in tissues. Genetic Disorders: Certain genetic conditions present with specific histological features that can be identified under a microscope.
