Cytology results question
by Pam1949, May 12, 2009 10:25AM
Hi,
During a routine physical exam, it was found that I had trace blood in my urine, and a rbc of 8. A urine cytology
was ordered, and this is what the results said:
"CYTOLOGIC INTERPRETATION:
URINE (VOIDED) THINPREP
ATYPICAL
Urothelial cells appearing in rare clusters, neutrophils and crystals are
present."
Since the cytology, another urine test shows that the rbc has returned to normal.
Could you please interpret the cytology results? I have an appointment with a urologist in a couple weeks, but am anxious for more information.
Thank you. Pam
