Cytology, Gastric Aspirate Fluid

Description

Gastric Aspirate Fluid Cytology involves the microscopic examination of cells obtained from stomach fluid. This test is used to detect abnormalities in the stomach lining, such as inflammation, infection, or cancerous changes. It’s particularly useful in diagnosing conditions like gastritis, peptic ulcers, or stomach cancer. The procedure involves collecting stomach fluid, usually through a nasogastric tube, and then examining the cells under a microscope for any signs of disease.
