Abstract:
This is case/ control study carried out in Madani Town
during
the period from March 2005 to July 2005. The study
assessed the cytological pattern in urine of patients with renal
failure. Using conventional cytological stains Papanicolaou and
May Grun Wald Giemsa stains. In this study 60 sample were
collected. Of the 60 specimens, 50 were collected from patients
with renal failure and the remaining 10 were from apparently
healthy individual as controls. Examination of cytological smears
revealed no cytological atypia were detected, inflammatory cell in
all cases and among 4(40%) of controls.
Furthermore, different infectious condition were detected.
Twenty three(38.3%) of bacterial infections were detected among
cases,
hence
only
3(5%)
were
found
among
controls.
Furthermore trichomonas were detected in 3(5%) of the cases.
Concerning the comparison of the staining quality of
Pap. And MGG. MGG resulted in 57(95%) fair quality compared
to Pap. which disclosed 54(90%) fair quality.
These findings suggest that urine cytology is important
for monitoring different infectious condition
that affect renal
failure patients. MGG is best applied for urine cytology, as
inflammatory cells are predominating such specimens.
