built 607 days ago
Nuclear medicine and angiography has no defined role in the assessment and diagnosis of cystitis. Sinuses and fistulae formation may complicate certain chronic forms of cystitis. MRI is best for imaging these conditions. MRI is ... the preferred modality in cases of postirradiation and hemorrhagic cystitis. CT scans show bladder calcification to advantage and is a preferred modality in the diagnosis of granulomatous and emphysematous cystitis.

Idiopathic cystitis affects males and females equally, although neutered males and females are at increased risk compared to their intact counterparts. An affected cat typically is 1 to 10 years of age (peak risk 2-6 years), spends all or nearly all of its time living indoors with humans, is expected to use a litter pan for urination and defection, and eats 75 to 100% dry food. Obesity and a variety of other comorbid conditions may be associated with idiopathic cystitis. Owners sometimes note that affected cats are unusually nervous, fearful, or aggressive, and are overreactive to their environment compared to healthy cats. Cats with access to the outdoors still can be affected, especially when the cat population in the outdoor area is dense.

Glandular cystitis, cystitis cystica, cystitis follicularis, and bullous cystitis are synonyms. These conditions usually affect the lamina propria, and expected findings include large cysts resembling cobblestones and/or multiple, rounded filling defects at the bladder base. These may closely resemble bladder carcinomas. The condition is potentially malignant.

Older adults are ... at high risk for developing cystitis. Rates of cystitis are much higher among the elderly than in younger people. This is due in part to conditions that cause an incomplete emptying of the bladder such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), prostatitis, and urethral strictures. Not drinking enough fluids, bowel incontinence, and immobility or decreased mobility, increased one's risk for cystitis.
