The usefulness of urinary cytology testing in the evaluation of irritative voiding symptoms

Article Abstract:

The study assessed the clinical usefulness of urinary cytology testing for the evaluation of urothelial cancer in women with irritative voiding symptoms who were examined at an urogynecology service. It concluded that low prevalence of urothelial cancers and low sensitivity of urinary cytology severely limits the usefulness of this test in the evaluation of women with irritative voiding symptoms.

Results of urine cytology testing and cystoscopy in women with irritative voiding symptoms

Article Abstract:

The study assessed the rates of urinary cytologic abnormalities and cystoscopic outcomes in women with iritative voiding symptoms that are examined at an urogynecology clinic. It concluded that urinary cytology and cystoscopy are low yield tests and should not be used routinely in the initial evaluation of women with irritative voiding symptoms.
