Course Objective
Objectives of Clinical Pathology Practical Course
At the end of Clinical Pathology practical course the students
will be able to:
a) Identify the most important hematological and functional
pathological tests of vet importance
b) Diagnose different animal diseases by confirming the
pathological causes that constraint live stock production in
general
c) Have knowledge more about clinical pathology
d) Write lab report pertaining the tests carried out
Course Description
Clinical pathology is a subspecialty of pathology that deals
with the use of laboratory methods (clinical chemistry,
microbiology, hematology and emerging subspecialties such as
molecular diagnostics) for the diagnosis and treatment of
disease. Hematology studies the blood and blood-forming
tissues to evaluate presence of disease and assist in therapeutic
interventions as clinically indicated. Clinical chemistry (also
known as chemical pathology and clinical biochemistry) is the
area of clinical pathology that is generally concerned with
analysis of bodily fluids.
