Overview
Studying abnormal cells, inflammation, infection, or other conditions in the urinary tract can help in diagnosing urinary tract infections, bladder cancer, and other urinary system disorders. The urine cytology test uses liquid based cytology (LBC) technique to analyze urine samples for any cell changes, infections, and cancerous cells. Urine LBC involves suspending the urine sample in a liquid fixative, similar to the process used in cervical LBC. The liquid suspension is processed to remove debris and concentrate the cells, and then transferred onto glass slides using automated or manual methods. The advantages of urine LBC include improved cellular distribution, reduced obscuring factors, and the potential for additional testing on the same sample if required.
