Histopathology, Cytology & Cytogenetics
Histopathology involves the microscopic examination of tissue samples to diagnose a wide range of diseases. This process typically includes collecting a small section of tissue, which is then examined to detect abnormal cells and to determine the type and stage of a disease. It plays a critical role in identifying conditions such as cancer, infections, and chronic inflammatory disorders
Cytology focuses on the study of cells, either as single cells or in small clusters. This method is used to detect cellular changes that may indicate the presence of diseases like hormonal imbalances, infections, or early signs of cancer. Cytology is often used for screening and early diagnosis, helping guide further medical evaluation and treatment.
Cytogenetics is the study of chromosomes, which carry genetic information within each cell. This testing analyzes both the number and structure of chromosomes to detect abnormalities that may result in genetic disorders or certain forms of cancer. Cytogenetic analysis is especially important in prenatal testing, cancer diagnostics, and genetic counseling.
Appointments for histopathology, cytology, and cytogenetic testing, along with other pathology services such as clinical biochemistry, immunology, serology, and pathology imaging, are available at RamaLab for both center visits and home sample collection.

Histopathology typically includes tissue biopsy tests such as liver biopsy, kidney biopsy, skin biopsy, and bone marrow biopsy. These are used to examine tissues at the microscopic level for signs of disease.
Cytology focuses on analyzing individual cells and includes common tests like the Pap smear, PDL1-IHC, and exfoliative cytology techniques such as urine cytology and sputum cytology to detect infections, cancer, and other abnormalities.
Cytogenetic testing involves analyzing chromosomes to detect genetic disorders or changes associated with certain cancers. These tests are often used in prenatal screening, cancer diagnosis, and genetic counseling.
Lab results should be interpreted by your healthcare provider. The analysis involves reviewing clinical history, specimen details, and microscopic findings, along with gross examination when needed. This ensures accurate diagnosis and helps in creating a personalized treatment plan with appropriate medications.
A strong diagnostic process ensures diseases are detected accurately and early, which allows for more effective and targeted treatment. It improves patient safety, enables preventive care, and helps avoid unnecessary procedures—making healthcare more efficient and outcomes more successful.
Most test reports are delivered on the same day. However, certain specialized tests may take longer and are usually ready within 1 to 2 working days, depending on the complexity of the analysis.
Yes, RamaLab offers home collection services for your convenience. You can also opt for in-center visits. Appointments can be booked easily through our official website, by calling us at +91 72898 17446 (between 7:00 A.M. and 10:30 P.M.), or by chatting with our WhatsApp bot on the same number.
