Lab Medicine (also called “Clinical Pathology” by some) is a specialty in which pathologists provide testing of patient samples (usually blood or urine) in several different areas. One example of a test performed in the Clinical Chemistry lab is the determination of the level of enzymes in blood to see if a patient has had a heart attack or the level of glucose (sugar) in the blood of a patient with diabetes. In the Microbiology lab, the presence of bacteria and other microorganisms can be detected and information on treating them can be obtained. If you have ever had a “blood test” it was probably sent to Hematology, where blood cells are studied and diseases such as anemia are diagnosed.
