Advanced Pathology Services

At Merrylands Family Practice, pathology testing plays a vital role in understanding your health. By analysing samples such as blood, urine, and tissues, we can:

• Detect diseases early: Identify conditions such as infections, cancers, and autoimmune disorders.

• Monitor treatment effectiveness: Track the progress of your treatment and adjust medications as needed.

• Guide personalised care: Our findings help your doctor make informed decisions about your treatment plan.

Our experienced pathologists utilise advanced technologies to provide accurate and reliable results, including:

• Blood tests: Assessing blood cell counts, hormone levels, and more.

• Urine tests: Detecting infections, kidney problems, and metabolic disorders.

• Tissue analysis: Examining tissue samples for signs of disease.

Partnering with your doctor, we provide valuable insights into your health to help you make informed decisions. If your doctor has recommended pathology testing, book an appointment online to learn more.
