What is Cytology (Non-Gyn) Other Fluids Liquid based cytology (LBC)?
This test examines cells from various body fluids (other than gynecological samples) using a specialized liquid-based cytology (LBC) technique. LBC helps improve cell preservation and remove obscuring material, leading to clearer microscopic evaluation. It's used to detect abnormal cells that might indicate inflammation, infection, or disease.
Why is this test important?
This test is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring conditions affecting different body organs, such as infections, inflammatory processes, and cancerous growths. It helps identify the presence of malignant cells in fluids like urine, cerebrospinal fluid, or effusions, guiding further diagnostic and treatment decisions.
How to Prepare
