Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Incorporating urine volume into adequacy assessment was recommended by The Paris System for Reporting Urinary Cytology. The concept was relatively new, however, and supportive studies were sparse. We accordingly aimed to determine the role of urine volume in adequacy assessment and cutoff values for urine samples using ThinPrep (Hologic, Inc, MA) processing.
