Don't know the lab terms but it is basically seems to be what they are aiming for during biopsy. I have had a few biopsies myself. All on kidneys only though .. never bladder. After any biopsy don't move hardly at all to let the area they take tissue out of heal. Also during the biopsy don't move and don't tense up. Think of something else .. like the weather outside. It isn't so bad and through a biopsy they can see what is actually going on with your body by actually putting tissue under a microscope and getting a good look.
