Biopsies and histologies thoroughly analyse cells to determine abnormalities and their causes. . A biopsy is a medical procedure that involves taking a small sample of tissue so that it can be examined under a microscope. A sample can be taken from almost anywhere on, or in the body.
This includes the skin, stomach, kidneys, liver and lungs. Histologies are similar in that it aims to diagnose and study diseases in tissue.
Your doctor will advise a biopsy or histology if they are concerned with any moles, lumps or possible infections. You may also request a histology or biopsy if you have discovered an area of concern.

When the tissue sample is examined under the microscope, abnormal cells can be spotted and identified, which can help diagnose a specific condition. If the condition is already known, a biopsy can be used to assess its severity, such as degree of inflammation or even the aggressiveness of a cancer. This information is very useful when deciding on the most appropriate treatment for a particular patient.
Urine samples are also taken to detect any possible infections. Your histologies and biopsies are discreet and timely. Dr Weber will thoroughly review your results with you to ensure they are understood and to advise the best course of treatment for you following your histology or biopsy.
Biopsies & histology can offer a sense of relief as well as the opportunity to gain an understanding of your health to make the best decision to remedy any concerns.
