Resumen
VELASCO DE COS, Guillermo; MAIZTEGI-AZPITARTE, Ainhoa; SEGUNDO-VAL, Ignacio San y CALLEJA-HERMOSA, Paola. Usefulness of automated analysis of urinary sediment in early diagnosis of bladder cancer. Rev. mex. urol. [online]. 2022, vol.82, n.4, e08. Epub 13-Mar-2023. ISSN 2007-4085. https://doi.org/10.48193/revistamexicanadeurologa.v82i4.751.
Objective:
The presence of non-habitual cells in urinary sediment calls for further studies of urine cytology, ultrasound, and cystoscopy with biopsy.
Case presentation:
Urothelial carcinoma is the most frequent neoplasm in the urinary tract. The elemental and urinary sediment analysis is usually not used as a test of diagnostic value, but in some cases, it can provide relevant information. A case of a 74-year-old patient who was diagnosed with high grade urothelial carcinoma after routine analytical testing is presented here.
Conclusions:
The importance of urinary sediment testing can’t be underestimated. The observer’s experience can facilitate early diagnosis and improve the patient’s quality of life.
