Do you have an opinion as to when the NMP22 test should be run?
I use the NMP2 test where I would normally use a urine cytology. That leaves two general categories. Category one would be new patients with microscopic hematuria where I have done an upper tract image, usually CT scan, cystoscopy, and some type of examination of the urinary sediment --now it would be NMP22. The other category would be patients who come back for monitoring who have known bladder cancer, and with each of their cystoscopy visits I obtain a NMP22 along with their cystoscopy as part that day’s evaluation.
