About this test

What is the Aspirated Fluid for Cytology Test?

Aspirated Fluid for Cytology is a laboratory investigation that examines cells present in a fluid sample collected through aspiration. The sample is prepared and examined under a microscope to assess cellular characteristics and identify normal, inflammatory, infectious or suspicious changes.

Why is Aspirated Fluid for Cytology Performed?

A doctor may recommend this investigation when fluid accumulates in a body cavity or another area and requires cellular examination. Cytology helps evaluate the nature of the fluid and may provide information about possible inflammatory conditions, infections or malignant cellular changes.

What Can the Test Help Evaluate?

  • Inflammatory cellular changes
  • Abnormal or atypical cells
  • Suspicious malignant cells
  • Cellular changes associated with infections
  • Other microscopic abnormalities in the submitted fluid
