Clinical Pathology and Laboratory Diagnosis
6 resources created by 6 users
This Clinical Pathology and Laboratory Diagnosis page on GoConqr gathers community-made quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes, from cytology sampling and urinalysis to haemostasis, biochemistry and liver disease. It's built for university students and professional candidates practising sample handling, slide reading and result interpretation, and for teachers after ready-made material. There are over 80 resources here, including more than 10 quizzes, over 20 mind maps and over 40 flashcard decks. Pick a topic, try a quiz to find your gaps, then make your own revision sets.

About Clinical Pathology and Laboratory Diagnosis
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
The resources here follow the laboratory workflow, from collecting a sample to interpreting the result. Cytology is well represented. The Cytology mind map walks through touch imprints, scrapings, fine needle aspirates, swabs, squash preparations and blood or fluid smear technique. Flashcard decks such as Cytology sampling, Other sampling methods and Fluid Analysis cover how to prepare slides for masses, biopsies and fluids.
Urine, blood and biochemistry
Urinalysis is a large part of the page. The deck UA (crystals) describes crystal shapes and the urine they appear in, while Urine slides is built around images such as caudate cells, bile crystals and calcium oxalate. A run of mind maps covers single crystals, including Triple Phosphate, Uric Acid Crystals and Ammonium Biurate Crystals.
For blood and chemistry, there are decks on anaemia, haemostasis and renal markers. The Creatinine mind map explains why creatinine is a good indicator of GFR, and Potassium and Muscle Disease sit alongside it. Quizzes such as Diagnosis of Hepatic Disease and Analysis of body fluids test organ-based interpretation.
A sensible order to study
- Start with General Clinical Pathology, which covers serum versus plasma, and the quiz Blood Sampling.
- Move to Intro to cytology and the Cytology mind map.
- Work through the urine decks, then the crystal mind maps.
- Finish with biochemistry, liver disease and effusions.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first to see how a topic fits together. Then take a related quiz without notes. Whatever you miss, go back to the matching flashcard deck. Repeat the quiz a few days later. Teachers can set a map as pre-reading and a quiz as a quick check.
Where it fits
This unit belongs to the strand Pathology, Microbiology and Disease Control within Veterinary medicine. Everything was made by GoConqr users, so styles vary. Choose one resource that matches your next lab session and begin there.
Frequently asked questions
Where should I start on this page?
Begin with the General Clinical Pathology flashcards, which cover basics such as the difference between serum and plasma. Then try the Blood Sampling quiz to check your handling knowledge. After that, move to the cytology resources and the urine decks, which build on those sample basics.
What do the mind maps cover?
The mind maps cover cytology techniques, creatinine, potassium, muscle disease, hydration and dehydration, urine sediment and faecal samples. There is also a set of single-crystal maps, including Triple Phosphate, Calcium Oxalate and Bilirubin Crystal, which suit quick visual revision before a practical.
Are these resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users rather than by GoConqr itself, so it helps to compare a few resources on the same topic.
Who are these resources suited to?
They are aimed at university students and professional candidates, with most of the material at university level. Teachers can also use them as ready-made material for lab sessions, revision tasks or short checks on urinalysis, cytology and biochemistry.
Which quizzes can I use to test myself?
There are quizzes on laboratory work, sample collection and handling, body fluids and hepatic disease. Some are labelled as final or cumulative exams, which suit end-of-course practice. Use a shorter one first, then attempt a longer one when you feel ready.
Can I make my own revision material?
Yes. With a free account you can save your quiz scores and build your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. A good approach is to turn the gaps you find in a quiz into your own flashcards on urine crystals or biochemistry results.
