What is pathology?

Pathology is the study of the causes of illness and its effects on the body. Simply put, our Pathology Department examines samples of body tissue to detect specific conditions in order to assist your doctor in diagnosing and treating your complaint and devise the best course of treatment.

Within our Pathology Department, we provide a range of services. These include:

• Haematology, or blood and bone marrow disorders
• Biochemistry tests
• Immunology, to examine weaknesses in the immune system
• Serology, studying blood serum to assess the immune response to pathogens
• Microbiology tests
• Dermatopathology, or all manner of skin conditions, immunologic or infectious
• Cytopathology, or the evaluation of biopsies and Pap tests
• Anatomic or surgical pathology, looking for particular markers of disease from tissue samples

The length of time it takes to process an in-house test can vary, depending on the nature of the examination. We do, however, pride ourselves on our rapid turnaround times, and you may receive the results of many of the tests we carry out within a few hours or the same day. This means your doctor of pathology can often confirm a diagnosis on the day, to see you start receiving treatment as soon as possible.

Our specialisms

Dubai London Hospital specialises in a range of pathology procedures, working with some of the region’s most skilled pathologists in various disciplines. Our haematology experts take blood samples in order to test for a range of blood and bone marrow disorders, with an attached team using serology to study blood serum and assess the immune system’s response to pathogens which cause illness.

Similar work is carried out by our doctors working in immunology, who also examine the workings of the immune system to look for the root cause of illness and disease. Our specialists in dermatopathology, meanwhile, examine the body’s largest organ, the skin, to test for immunologic or infectious diseases, to accurately diagnose your skin complaint.

The different strands of the Pathology Department all work in tandem to see that every facet of your diagnosis is covered and no avenue is left unexplored in the search for the cause of your health condition and the best course of treatment.
