Aim:(i) Cytological examination of urine received in the department of pathology, RIMS (Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences)Ranchi.(ii)An attempt to establish the cause of the urine abnormalities .(iii) To establish etiological cause of urine abnormalities with respect to age group distribution. Material and Method: The smears were prepared using conventional centrifugation techniques & stained with hematoxylin & eosin/Papanicaloau stains .Then the smear were studied to see cell morphology &pattern. Result: Out of 110 urine samples of majority of the cases belonged to inflammatory condition (59/110) samples,(10/110) samples were malignant while( 41/110) samples were normal. Conclusion: The study of exfoliated cells in urine cytology can be used as a routine diagnostic procedure and the techniques used for processing urine are easy to perform in any laboratory set up. The technique like conventional centrifugation help in better morphological interpretation; therefore the need to reconfirm its utility in diagnostic cytology.
