For cytology in urine (cells), your urine is examined at the cellular level.
Why do I need this exam?
A cytological examination is performed to check the urine for the presence of abnormal cells.
What will we do?
In the pathology laboratory, the cells are stained and examined under a microscope. The microscope makes it possible to look for the presence of abnormal cells.
Appointment by telephone for urine test
If your physician wants to have a cytological examination performed on your urine, you must schedule an appointment by telephone to hand in your urine sample. If this is necessary, it will be explicitly mentioned in your physician's referral letter. In that case, you can call us at 088 - 21 41 149 to schedule your appointment. It is not yet possible to schedule your appointment online.
The appointment will take place at Diagnostiek voor U's main location at Boschdijk 1119 in Eindhoven. You will receive a jar for your urine at the reception desk and hand in your sample right away.
The results
We will send the results of your examination to your general practitioner. Schedule an appointment with your general practitioner or nurse practitioner to discuss your results.
You can also check the results of your exam in the MijnDiagnostiekvoorU client portal. You are free to choose whether you want to look at your results before discussing them with your caregiver.
Tissue samples and storage period
If your attending physician has sent your tissue sample or cells to the pathology laboratory for pathological examination, residual material will be stored afterwards.
