Description
Estimated cost for Dermatopathology at general public hospitals in China is about ¥15-40, and at Grade 3A hospitals about ¥20-50, varying by hospital tier and region.
Main Uses
The primary purpose of a skin biopsy (skin pathology check) is to diagnose various skin conditions including but not limited to: skin cancers (melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma), inflammatory skin diseases (psoriasis, dermatitis), infections (fungal, bacterial, viral), and autoimmune disorders (lupus, scleroderma). It's also used to evaluate unexplained skin growths, rashes, or lesions.
Normal Range
Skin biopsy results are typically reported as descriptive findings rather than numerical values. A normal range would indicate no presence of abnormal cells, inflammation, or other pathological changes in the skin sample.
Low Values - Possible Causes
N/A - Skin pathology tests do not provide quantitative results that can be categorized as low. The test is qualitative, focusing on the identification of specific conditions or abnormalities.
High Values - Possible Causes
N/A - Similar to low values, high values are not applicable since skin pathology tests are qualitative and based on microscopic examination for signs of disease or abnormality.
