Abstract

Low anesthetic bladder capacity has been shown to be a biomarker for bladder-centric interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). The goal of this study was to determine if histopathological evidence from bladder biopsies supports anesthetic bladder capacity (BC) as a marker to distinguish a bladder-centric IC/BPS subtype.
