[A retrospective analysis of morphological tests in patients with interstitial cystitis].
Cystoscopy, hydrobougieurage and biopsy of the urinary bladder were made in 80 female patients with interstitial cystitis (IC) aged 23-68 years. Endoscopic changes were estimated by an original scale. The analysis of the endoscopic findings revealed a correlation between duration of the process, cystoscopic picture and histopathological evidence. Clinical and cystoscopic pictures provide significant information on morphological changes in the wall of the urinary bladder depending on the disease stage. Histological study of urinary bladder biopsies in IC is used rather for excluding other diseases of the urinary bladder with similar clinical symptoms (primarily cancer and tuberculosis).
