Checks cells in coughed-up mucus to detect infections, inflammation, abnormal cells, or signs of lung cancer.
Sputum cytology examines cells present in the sputum you cough up from the lungs and airways. The lab looks for infection, inflammation, abnormal cells, or cancerous changes under a microscope. This test helps detect infections such as tuberculosis or pneumonia, chronic bronchitis, and early signs of lung cancer. Doctors use it alongside symptoms, chest imaging, and cultures to guide diagnosis. It can also help monitor treatment response and decide if more precise tests are needed.
No special preparation is required.
The Sputum Cytology test evaluates various parameters related to the different components. Here are the main parameters that are checked in the test:
Sputum Cytology is often ordered as part of a respiratory infection or lung cancer workup. Doctors may request it when you have a persistent cough, coughing blood, unexplained chest imaging changes, or persistent fever. It helps diagnose infections, inflammatory lung disease, and cancer. Abnormal results can stem from smoking, infections, or tumors. A strong family history of lung cancer may make testing more important.
