Anatomic Pathology Services
Pathology is the study of the nature of disease. The Anatomic Pathology Laboratory provides a full range of pediatric pathology diagnostic services including pediatric surgical pathology, pediatric autopsy, and pediatric cytopathology. Pathologists at Children's Hospital are both investigative researchers looking for the origins of disease and integral members of the patient care team consulting with physicians on biochemical, molecular, and cell biology tests that guide diagnostic choices and treatment strategies.
Clinical Laboratory Services
Clinical laboratories are a critical component of health care. Laboratory testing plays a key role in the detection, diagnosis and treatment of pediatric conditions.
Using sophisticated biomedical instrumentation and technology our medical laboratory science professionals perform laboratory testing on blood and body fluids to generate accurate data that are needed to aid in detecting cancer, heart attacks, diabetes, and identification of bacteria or viruses that cause infections.
Because we primarily treat children, our phlebotomists are experts at drawing blood and collecting samples from infants and children using microtechniques to minimize the amount of blood drawn.
The Clinical Laboratory provides a full range of inpatient and outpatient laboratory testing services:
- Specialized Pediatric Phlebotomy Services (Blood Lab)
- Chemistry and Toxicology
- Hematology
- Urinalysis
- Coagulation
- Microbiology
- Immunology
- Transfusion Services

- Hemoglobinopathy
- Bone marrow testing—HLA/Immunogenetics Services
- Specialized Send-out Testing

The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine is fully accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP), and licensed by the State of California, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), and the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for transfusion services.
