A pathology test is an examination of tissue samples taken from different parts of your body, such as your blood, urine, and feces (poo), as well as samples obtained through a biopsy. This information is utilized by medical professionals in the process of diagnosing and treating various diseases and conditions.

Pathology tests help prevent, diagnose, manage, and monitor allergies, infections, chronic diseases, and cancer.
Follow test directions. Some tests require fasting. If you didn’t follow instructions, tell staff.
