Can We Use Urinary Cytokine/Chemokine Analysis in Discriminating Ulcer-Type Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrome?

Authors

Abstract

Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) has ulcer (HIC) and non-ulcer subtypes. Differentiation of these two subtypes could only be based by cystoscopy. This study analyzed the urinary cytokines and chemokines among IC/BPS subtypes and controls for discriminating HIC from non-HIC and controls.
