Journal ArticleDOI
Interstitial cystitis: early diagnosis, pathology, and treatment.
TL;DR: It is believed that the finding of multiple petechia-like hemorrhages on the second distention of the bladder is the hallmark of interstitial cystitis, and that a reduced bladder capacity and a Hunner's ulcer represent a different (classic) stage of this disease.

The role of urinary potassium in the pathogenesis and diagnosis of interstitial cystitis
TL;DR: Chronic diffusion of urinary potassium into the bladder interstitium may induce sensory symptoms, damage tissue and be a major toxic factor in the pathogenesis of interstitial cystitis and intravesical potassium sensitivity is a reliable method for detecting abnormal epithelial permeability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosis of interstitial cystitis.
Philip M. Hanno,Robert M. Levin,Frederick C. Monson,Cory Teuscher,Zhao Zong Zhou,Michael R. Ruggieri,Kristene E. Whitmore,Alan J. Wein +7 more
TL;DR: Clinical and histological findings indicate that interstitial cystitis is a complex disease whose diagnosis presently still must be made from a symptom complex rather than from objective histological criteria, including mastocytosis or the presence of any specific immunoreactive cell.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interstitial cystitis : A critique of current concepts with a new proposal for pathologic diagnosis and pathogenesis
TL;DR: A proposal is presented regarding the mechanisms invoked by neurogenic inflammation that can account for the heterogeneity and variability of observed pathologic features, and upholds the tacit acceptance of IC as a disease of pluricausal etiology and multifactorial pathogenesis.

Mast Cells in Interstitial Cystitis
Svend Larsen,Sally-Ann Thompson,Tage Hald,R. J. Barnard,C.J. Gilpin,J. S. Dixon,John A. Gosling +6 more
TL;DR: Histological estimation of mast cells is of value, therefore, in establishing the diagnosis of interstitial cystitis, and may be particularly helpful in equivocal cases.

The incidence of parathyroid and other antibodies in the sera of patients with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism.
R. M. Blizzard,D. Chee,W. Davis +2 more
TL;DR: A significant percentage of patients with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism also had adrenal, thyroid and/or gastric parietal cell antibodies, even in the absence of diagnosed Addison's disease, thyroid disease, or pernicious anaemia.
