Role of the lab in bladder biopsy test
In bladder biopsy, the lab plays a crucial role in processing and analyzing the tissue sample obtained during the procedure. The lab technicians prepare the sample for histopathological evaluation, where a pathologist examines the cells and tissues to identify any abnormalities or signs of disease.
Indications to do the bladder biopsy test
Bladder biopsy is typically recommended when there are suspicious findings in other diagnostic tests, such as cystoscopy or imaging scans, or when there are symptoms suggestive of bladder diseases like blood in urine, persistent urinary tract infections, or abnormal bladder growths.
What can be diagnosed in the bladder biopsy test
Bladder biopsy can help diagnose various conditions including bladder cancer, bladder inflammation (cystitis), bladder infections, interstitial cystitis, bladder polyps, and other abnormalities of the bladder tissues. The histopathology report provides valuable information for further treatment and management.
How does the lab perform Bladder
Bladder biopsy histopathology begins with the excision or removal of tissue by the patient's referring surgeon. The excised sample is then brought to the Pathofast Lab in Pune. At the lab, a gross assessment of the specimen is performed, which includes measuring the weight, dimensions, and examining the external appearance. After the gross assessment, the specimen is sectioned, and slides are prepared for microscopic analysis.

It is important to note that the excision or removal of bladder tissue is not performed by the lab. This procedure is carried out by the patient's referring surgeon. The lab's role begins after the excised sample is brought to the lab for further histopathological analysis.
Gross Assessment of the bladder specimen
During the gross assessment of the bladder biopsy specimen, various parameters are evaluated. This includes measuring the weight of the specimen, its dimensions, and examining its external appearance. These observations provide important information for the subsequent microscopic analysis and diagnosis.
Microscopic analysis and slide preparation
Microscopic analysis is a crucial step in bladder biopsy histopathology. After the gross assessment, the specimen is sectioned to obtain thin slices. These slices are then mounted on slides, stained, and examined under a microscope. The lab's experienced pathologists carefully analyze the cellular and tissue characteristics to make an accurate diagnosis.
