Cystitis Other Diagnostic Tests

Introduction

Overview

Overview

Cystoscopy is not usually done to diagnose cystitis. Cystoscopy is recommended in recurrent cystitis, emphysematous cystitis, cystitis in children less than 2 years or in any kind of cystitis with normal routine tests. Hunter lesions can be identified using cystoscopy in patient with interstitial cystitis or bladder pain syndrome. Cystoscopy may sometime require the administration of local anaesthesia to facilitate the process. Mass spectrometry based metabolomic analysis is useful in detecting urinary metabolites in Interstitial cystitis.
