The data were modelled using SimaPro® software, version 9.0.0.27, using the Australian National Life Cycle Inventory Database (AusLCI) for Australian specific data, and from Ecoinvent 3.5® for all other data.

The study has been performed in accordance with ISO 14,040 and ISO 14,044. The study is a cradle-to-grave assessment of pathology testing, from raw material acquisition for collection equipment and reagents, the collection of the sample from the patient, sample transport to the pathology lab and its subsequent analysis, and the disposal of clinical waste. The aim of this study is to develop an LCA of six commonly used pathology tests in hospitals in Australia, as testing is ubiquitous within healthcare.

In some cases, the test will have to be postponed if you don’t follow the instructions. If you don’t, you need to inform the pathology team. It’s important that you follow the pre-test instructions. This usually involves fasting or not drinking certain liquids. Many pathology tests have some preparation stage. Pathology tests are important because they help nurses and doctors to diagnose, prevent, monitor and manage a host of conditions such as: infections, cancers, chronic diseases, and allergies. These tests examine samples of your body’s tissue, including biopsied tissue, urine, faeces, or blood. Pathology tests and importanceĪ pathology test is a way for doctors to assess, diagnose and determine treatment for certain diseases and other conditions. The GPs at National Telemedicine Doctors are able to provide pathology referrals. Then there is also the fact Medicare will not cover pathology tests without a referral for a Pathologist. So, it is unlikely any pathology lab would agree to perform the test without a referral. And even if you did, being able to interpret the results takes expert training. Without a pathology referral from a qualified health practitioner it’s unlikely you would know which test you need.
Pathology is a very complex area of medicine.
