[Urinary cytology in office urology (author's transl)]

Urinary cytology is an effective method for the detection and control of urothelial tumors. The use of simple, fast staining and reliable techniques in the office for screening purposes may improve the early detection rate. A survey of simple microscopic and staining techniques is given. Prestained slides (Testsimplets and Sangodiff G) proved to be very suitable for office use. But the cytological analysis of the urinary sediment still needs a highly interested and trained examiner.
