Histopathology special stains are used to differentiate tissue components and identify abnormalities in the tissue sample. One such stain is the Alcian Blue stain, which is used to detect acidic mucin in tissue samples.

The Alcian Blue stain is commonly used in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal and respiratory tract diseases, as well as in the evaluation of tumors and cysts. The test is performed on a tissue sample obtained through biopsy or surgery, and the results are used to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of the patient.

The cost of the Alcian Blue test at DNA Labs India is INR 631.8. However, the cost may vary depending on the location and the facility where the test is performed.

The symptoms and diagnosis of diseases that may require the Alcian Blue test include:

• Chronic cough
• Bloody stools
• Abdominal pain and discomfort
• Unexplained weight loss
• Difficulty swallowing
• Presence of a mass or lump in the body
• Abnormalities detected in imaging studies
