A Doctors prescription is required for the BIOPSY MUSCLE WITH SPECIAL STAINS & IHC Test. However, the prescription is not applicable for surgery and pregnancy cases or individuals planning to travel abroad.
Test Details
A muscle biopsy involves the removal of a small piece of muscle tissue for examination under a microscope. Special stains and immunohistochemistry (IHC) techniques are used to enhance the visualization of specific components within the muscle tissue.
Special stains utilize dyes that selectively bind to certain structures or substances within the muscle tissue. These stains help identify different types of muscle fibers, evaluate the presence of inflammation or infection, or highlight abnormal deposits such as amyloid.
Immunohistochemistry is a technique that uses antibodies to detect specific proteins within the muscle tissue. By combining antibodies with colored or fluorescent markers, a visible signal is created. IHC can be used to identify specific types of cells, assess protein expression, or detect markers associated with various diseases or conditions.
By combining special stains and IHC, pathologists can obtain more detailed information about the muscle tissue, aiding in the diagnosis and management of various muscle disorders and diseases.

A muscle biopsy is a procedure where a small piece of muscle tissue is removed for examination under a microscope. Special stains and immunohistochemistry (IHC) are techniques used to enhance the visualization of specific components within the muscle tissue. Special stains involve the use of dyes that selectively bind to certain structures or substances within the muscle tissue. These stains can help identify different types of muscle fibers, evaluate the presence of inflammation or infection, or highlight abnormal deposits such as amyloid. Immunohistochemistry is a technique that uses antibodies to detect specific proteins within the muscle tissue. Antibodies are designed to bind to specific target proteins, and when combined with a colored or fluorescent marker, they create a visible signal. IHC can be used to identify specific types of cells within the muscle tissue, assess the expression of certain proteins, or detect the presence of specific markers associated with various diseases or conditions. By combining special stains and IHC, pathologists can obtain more detailed information about the muscle tissue, which can aid in the diagnosis and management of various muscle disorders and diseases. |
