 I wondered if anyone could help me interpret a urine sediment cytology? It is from my cat who has a permanent indwelling cystostomy tube following his RTA last year. It has been absolutely fine until last week when the urine went incredibly</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 10</generator><item><title>RE: Urine cytology</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/141626?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 18 Aug 2015 16:06:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:9c7428d2-e870-4bfa-bcb4-40c36d1d500f</guid><dc:creator>Sarah Bolt</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Guys,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thank you for the replies (sorry for the delay in replying - been one of those weeks/weekends!). Glad to hear you think they are nothing too sinister. I guess there&amp;#39;s the question as to why there are there. I don&amp;#39;t know if its just a &amp;#39;foreign body&amp;#39; reaction to the cysto tube being in place. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His urine got a lot better while he was resting for his lameness but went haemorrhagic after we let him out again so I think it may just be physical irriation causing it all...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks again for the reassurance! &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Urine cytology</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/141498?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 14 Aug 2015 11:20:06 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:87a960b3-e6fc-4529-99c3-0bbe159ca4cb</guid><dc:creator>ChrisBVSc</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;[quote user=&amp;quot;John Flynn&amp;quot;]&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hi Sarah,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Looks like neutrophils to me.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I would be inclined to agree, I&amp;#39;m assuming they are &amp;#39;free floating&amp;#39; in a drop of urine on the slide so you&amp;#39;ll be seeing them more in 3D rather than flattened cells on a smear.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Urine cytology</title><link>https://www.vetsurgeon.org/thread/141484?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 13 Aug 2015 20:46:16 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">146601cc-3922-4be7-9974-7e1d4e45a66b:67fdcf99-3a03-4ff2-ab41-b3164261af21</guid><dc:creator>John Flynn</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi Sarah,&lt;/p&gt;
