Chronic inflammatory conditions seem to be a shared characteristic in patients with interstitial cystitis (IC) and overactive bladder (OAB). Thus, we measured 40 inflammatory urine markers in IC patients with or without Hunner's lesions (HIC and NHIC respectively) and OAB patients.

To investigate the feasibility of chemokines and cytokines potentially elevated in the bladder tissue of Hunner type interstitial cystitis (HIC) as urinary markers for distinguishing HIC from non-Hunner type interstitial cystitis (NHIC) METHODS: Urine specimens were collected from 41 HIC patients, 25 NHIC patients, and 31 healthy volunteers (control).

Chronic prostatitis and chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS) is an inflammatory immune disease characterized by intraprostatic leukocyte infiltration and pelvic or perineal pain. Macrophages play vital roles in the pathogenesis of CP/CPPS.
