Urine cytology is a non‑invasive test that analyzes exfoliated cells from the urinary tract.

Clinical uses include:

Detecting urothelial carcinoma (bladder cancer).

Identifying high‑grade malignancies in the urinary tract.

Monitoring patients with previous bladder cancer for recurrence.

Supporting evaluation of hematuria (blood in urine) or unexplained urinary symptoms.

Often performed alongside urine culture, cystoscopy, and imaging studies for comprehensive diagnosis.

Analyte: Exfoliated cells from urine (microscopic cytology).

Normal Result: No abnormal or malignant cells detected.

Abnormal Findings:

Presence of atypical cells: May suggest infection, inflammation, or early malignancy.

Presence of malignant cells: Indicates urothelial carcinoma or other urinary tract cancers.

Clinical Use:

Provides a direct cellular assessment of urinary tract health.

Helps guide diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment planning.

Supports urology, oncology, and pathology evaluations.
