==Laboratory findings==
* Urine cytology : A laboratory test in which a sample of urine is checked under a microscope for abnormal cells.
===Urinalysis===
* [[Urinalysis]] : A test to check the color of urine and its contents, such as sugar, protein, blood, and white blood cells. If white blood cells (a sign of infection) are found, a urine culture is usually done to find out what type of infection it is.
*[[Hematuria]]
* Blood chemistry studies : A procedure in which a blood sample is checked to measure the amounts of certain substances released into the blood by organs and tissues in the body. An unusual (higher or lower than normal) amount of a substance can be a sign of disease.

* [[Complete blood count]] (CBC): A procedure in which a sample of blood is drawn and checked for the following:
:* The number of [[red blood cells]], [[white blood cells]], and [[platelets]].
:* The amount of [[hemoglobin]] (the protein that carries oxygen) in the red blood cells.
:* The portion of the blood sample made up of red blood cells.
