title: Flow cytometry of urine.
abstract: Flow cytometry is becoming an increasingly important tool for the evaluation of urine cytology. Although it has established a strong foothold in oncologic DNA analysis, studies of whole cells and cell markers are only in their infancy. In addition, potential diagnostic applications such as those involving binding of E. coli strains to uroepeithelial cells will move flow cytometry from a research tool to a real diagnostic tool.
