I'm asking for my fiance' who has had blood in his urine off and on for about a year. He's been on multiple antibiotic treatments. He has one diverticula in his bladder. The urologist did a scope and biopsy of the diverticula with the following results:
*************************************************************************
(O) "Bladder Biopsy, bladder bx": Denuded bladder mucosa with underlying chronic inflammation and minute area of residual urothelium with reactive features. The deepest biopsy layer is the lamina propria. Comments: Cytospin slides of bladder biopsy fixative sediment reveal few sheets of benign urothelium with reactive nuclear features"
(O) Bladder Biopsy, bladder bx: The specimen consists of one portion of tan-white, soft, ill-defined tissue measuring 0.10 cm x 0.10 cm x 0.10 cm. Totally submitted
*****************************************************************
Questions: are the "reactive nuclear features" of the urothelium a sign of "atypical" or precancerous cells? He has been on Cipro without resolution - he's now being prescribed another antibiotic - is this the proper course of action?
Thank you
