Definition/Description[edit | edit source]

Interstitial cystitis (IC) aka. Painful Bladder Syndrome (PBS) is a disorder affecting the bladder characterized by uroepithelial inflammation and/or hypersenstivity of the afferent nerves of the bladder.(Oyama, IA) The International Continence Society definition is "the complaint of suprapubic pain related to bladder filling, accompanied by other symptoms such as increased daytime and night time frequency, in the absence of proven urinary infection or other obvious pathology." (Bharucha & Trabuco)

Diagnostic approaches for IC vary widely and there is not a general agreement on a diagnostic algorithm. Currently, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) Criteria is used.

NIDDK Diagonostic Critera for Interstitial Cystitis (MacDiarmid SA)

Automatic Inclusion:

  • Hunner's ulcer


Positive factors (2 must be present for inclusion):

  • Pain on bladder filling relieved by emptying
  • Pain (suprapublic, pelvic, urethral, vaginal, or perineal)
  • Glomerulations on cystoscopy
  • Decreased compliance on cystometrogram


Exclsuions:

  • Nocturia < 2 times per night
  • Symptoms duration < 12 months
  • Bladder Capacity > 400 mL
  • Involuntary bladder contractions
  • Other causes of sxs:

Bladder Cancer, Cystitis (radiation, tuberculous, bacterial, vaginitis, active herpes, bladder or lower calculi, involuntary bladder contractions.

Three consensus panels concluded that the diagnosis is suspected on the basis of history, physical examination, and laboratory tests, including negative urinalysis, negative urine culture, negative cytology, and possibly cystoscopy findings. (Nickel JC)
