We are providing information on this site for the "reminder use" of our pathology group and have it on-line in the spirit of sharing. It is not medical advice. And, it is hopeless to claim to have complete information or to have information continually current and up-to-date. Many disease files can be found from our main pathology page. A massive web directory is Eric Rumsey's Hardin meta directory. Or, one might check the Mayo Clinic "disease files for patients". Family Practice Notebook has much on diseases, odd syndromes, etc. A great resource is PathMax. A very unusual and wide-ranging source...part of which is pathology...is The Pathology Guy. And here is another pathologist's site, Paul K. Shitabata, M.D.  [here]. Another is Michigan's Nat Pernick's (lawyer turned pathologist) Pathology Outlines. And, here is a layperson  site for causes of test abnormalities, symptoms, and about diseases. MedlinePlus has disease, medication, and other information...much detail. Consumers & health professionals might try: Medscape, Allref Health Channel, and eMedicine for disease categories, problems causing certain symptoms or signs, or info about specific diseases.

Explanations of tests in ordinary language (for persons not primarily in the medical field as professionals) can be found in a non-commercial site sponsored by at least six professional organizations and coordinated by the American Clinical Laboratory Association [Labtestsonline.org] (and/or in the above links and other links in this paragraph and this entire website). Or, check the lab area of Family Practice Notebook. More technically, check the test index table and diagnostic algorithms on the ARUP laboratories site, and/or the information in the Specialty Labs test index, and/or the tests and interpretative guide at Quest Diagnostics (go to healthcare professionals, test menu, our regional lab is Georgia).  Check out Medical Crossfire topical debates and join and file your own views.

We hope that this site will be of some positive help; and, with this information, you may be equipped to dig deeper on a topic...if you like. Would you help us by tipping us off to information which is missing or to any obvious errors? Your help and constructive criticism will be appreciated.
