Abstract
In order to report clearly the results of cytological urinalysis and to standardise the terminology, the members of the Croatian Society for Clinical Cytology have elaborated a standardised form to report the finding of cytological urinalysis. The diagnostic criteria of the Paris Classification of Urinary Cytology have been accepted and further nonmalignant challenges have been added. The report contains information on the patient, type of specimen, macroscopic assessment, method of processing, adequacy of specimen, cytomorphological description and semi-quantitative analysis of epithelial and inflammatory cells, non-cellular elements, existence and morphology of erythrocytes, diagnosis in line with the Paris classification, comment, conclusion and recommendation.
