Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To improve the understanding of lupus cystitis.
METHODS:Clinical manifestations, laboratory Results , and image information of 2 cases of lupus cystitis were analysed retrospectively, and another 6 cases in the literature were reviewed.
RESULTS:Two patients were female. The urinary symptoms followed the gastrointestinal symptoms. Ureterectasia and hydronephrosis were detected in both patients, and intestinal pseudo-obstruction was detected in one patient. In the 6 cases from the literature, ureterectasia and hydronephrosis were detected in all patients, and intestinal pseudo-obstruction was detected in 4.
CONCLUSION:The possibility of lupus cystitis should be considered when lupus patients complain of urinary or bowel symptoms. Glucocorticoid and immunodepressant are effective for lupus cystitis.
