Transitional cells

Transitional cells are specialized cells that line the bladder and urothelial tract. Finding them in urine can indicate irritation, inflammation, or potential injury to the bladder or urinary tract. Their presence may suggest urinary tract infections, bladder cancer, trauma, or other urological conditions. While small numbers may not be concerning, higher quantities warrant further investigation. This test is qualitative, meaning it indicates their presence rather than exact counts, and requires clinical interpretation alongside other urinary findings and symptoms.
