Pathology is the branch of medicine which investigates the causes, effects and functioning of a disease to assist physicians in patient treatment. Pathologists examine body fluids, such as blood, urine or cerebrospinal fluid and body tissues, both from living patients and from post-mortem bodies in their work. The field is divided into two main categories: general and medical. General pathology focuses on disease processes. Medical pathology is further subdivided into two categories: anatomical and clinical.
