Cytology For Fluid

Description

Cytology for Fluid involves the microscopic examination of cells present in various body fluids such as pleural fluid, peritoneal fluid, or synovial fluid. This test is crucial for detecting abnormal cells that may indicate infections, inflammatory conditions, or malignancies. It’s particularly useful in diagnosing or staging cancers that may spread to body cavities. The procedure involves collecting a fluid sample, preparing it for microscopic examination, and having a cytopathologist analyze the cellular composition and characteristics to reach a diagnosis.
