Abstract
|
|
|
Interstitial cystitis has been thought to result from autoimmune phenomenon and its ocurrence in systemic lupus erythematosus9SLE0 has rarely been reported.
We report a case of female patient with SLE whose initial urinary symptoms were cuaused by intersitial cystitis. Radiography showed the reduced bladder capacity, irregularity of bladder wall, hydronephrosis and hydroureter. Deep bladder wall
biopsy
was
performed and a diagnosis of interstitial cystitis with SLE was made. She was treated with steroid and stent insertion and showed symptomatic improvement.
We consider the recognition of bladder involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus is important because it may be a reversible cause of renal failure in a patient with lupus erythematousus and adequate therapy may preserve bladder size and
function.
