Hemorrhagic cystitis is a rare complication following radiotherapy for intrapelvic cancer types, including cervical cancer, bladder cancer and prostate cancer. The severity of hemorrhagic cystitis is different in each case, although symptoms improve spontaneously in certain cases, and often significant morbidity requiring numerous interventions occurs. Since no treatment strategy exists with hi...

Radiation cystitis is a recognised complication of pelvic radiotherapy. Incidence of radiation cystitis ranges from 23 to 80% and the incidence of severe haematuria ranges from 5 to 8%. High quality data on management strategies for radiation cystitis is sparse. Treatment modalities are subclassified into systemic therapies, intravesical therapies, and hyperbaric oxygen and interventional proce...

We report a case of eosinophilic cystitis in a 7-year-old boy with a history of atopic symptoms, with focus on the radiological findings. He presented with hematuria and dysuria and ultrasonography (US) showed irregular bladder wall thickening resembling a bladder mass. CT urography did not characterize the lesion any further and showed no local or distant spread. Biopsies revealed eosinophilic...

Interstitial nephritis is a recognized complication of methicillin therapy. Hemorrhagic cystitis due to methicillin has not been emphasized. Evidence of hemorrhagic cystitis developed in six patients receiving methicillin therapy and was confirmed by cystoscopy in three of them.

The macroscopic appearances of florid cystitis cystica et glandularis can be mistaken for malignancy, and it is therefore important to perform a prompt resection to confirm the histological diagnosis and exclude sinister pathology.

The present investigation describes the spontaneous pathological lesions in urinary bladders (n = 177) of slaughtered buffaloes collected from Northern India. Gross examination revealed congestion, haemorrhages, oedematous changes and thickening mucosa. Microscopically, epithelial abnormalities, inflammatory neoplastic conditions were noticed. Epithelial abnormalities included hyperplasia, von ...

Visceral inflammation, including that arising from bladder inflammation, reduces the threshold to sensation of innocuous or noxious stimuli applied to peripheral structures (referred hyperalgesia). Cystitis may induce transient or persistent plastic changes mediated by neurotrophins, particularly nerve growth factor (NGF), which contribute to increased nociceptive input. In this study, acute or...

Meanwhile, aged 1-5, girls were pyelonephritis and cystitis.2. pyelonephritis, all had fever, followed by diarrhea lethargy.3. Urinary symptoms, such as dysuria hematuria, pyelonephritis. AbstractIntroduction: tract infection (UTI) is a common children. Prompt diagnosis treatment of this are important to pr...

The symptom profile and comorbidities associated with this painful condition can make it difficult to diagnose--unless you know what to look for.
