lihasbiopsian

Lihasbiopsia is a medical procedure where a small sample of muscle tissue is removed for examination. This diagnostic test is typically performed by a physician to investigate a variety of neuromuscular disorders or unexplained muscle weakness. The sample can be obtained through different methods, including a needle biopsy, where a hollow needle is inserted into the muscle to extract a small piece of tissue, or an open biopsy, which involves a small surgical incision to remove a larger sample.

The tissue collected is then sent to a pathology laboratory for analysis. Pathologists examine the muscle fibers under a microscope to identify any abnormalities in their structure, size, or appearance. Special stains and tests can be used to detect specific diseases or conditions affecting the muscle. Common reasons for performing a muscle biopsy include diagnosing conditions such as muscular dystrophy, myositis (muscle inflammation), myopathies (diseases of the muscle itself), and neuropathies (diseases of the nerves that control muscles). The results of the biopsy help physicians confirm a diagnosis, determine the severity of the condition, and guide treatment decisions. The procedure is usually performed under local anesthesia, and potential risks are generally minimal, though they can include minor bleeding, bruising, or infection at the biopsy site.
