title: [Chronic irritative urinary syndrome. Diagnostic value of cystoscopy, urinary cytology and biopsy].
abstract: Chronic irritative urinary syndrome (CIUS), is a diagnostic concern for urologists from the moment that it becomes chronic and there is no etiologic diagnostic available. The objective of this study is to find out the diagnostic value of Cystoscopy, Urinary cytology and Biopsy of the vesical mucosa. A prospective, descriptive study was conducted in 30 patients who developed CIUS. Cystoscopy showed visible damage in 7 patients (31.8%); urinary cytology, 22 patients with cytologic changes (73.3%); and vesical biopsy, 24 patients with histologic changes (80.0%). The authors conclude that CIUS occurs more frequently in females than in males, the age range with higher incidence are 43 and 45 years. The most common diagnosis are unspecific chronic inflammatory changes followed by metaplasia.
