Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease characterized by multiple organs involvement. Bladder involvement (Lupus cystitis) is a rare manifestation of SLE, and occurs in association with gastrointestinal manifestations. We report a case of lupus interstitial cystitis with bladder irritation and bilateral hydroureteronephrosis in an adolescent female who was treated with intravenous methylprednisolone pulse therapy followed by oral prednisolone and mycofenolate mofetil (MMF). Her symptoms ameliorated, and the hydroureteronephrosis improved. She was presented again with systemic flare up of the disease together with hydrouretronephrosis, but without bladder irritation symptoms. The diagnosis of lupus cystitis was confirmed by radiographic abnormalities, cystoscopy and bladder biopsy.

One of the most prevalent disorders of the urinary system is urinary tract infection, which is mostly brought on by uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC). The objective of this study was to evaluate the regenerative therapeutic and antibacterial efficacy of PRP for induced bacterial cystitis in dogs in comparison to conventional antibiotics. 25 healthy male mongrel dogs were divided into 5 groups (n = 5).

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is often seen with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS), and these conditions may occur concurrently with severe immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) and even acute kidney injury (AKI); however, post-renal AKI due to bleeding is uncommon. Here, we describe a case of post-renal AKI and anuria in a patient with SLE and APS, which were attributable to urinary tract obstruction due to massive blood clots caused by secondary ITP. A 50-year-old Japanese woman was admitted to our hospital with anuria, abdominal tenderness, purpura in the trunk and in both legs, and severe thrombocytopenia.

Background And Objectives: Previous studies have reported a possible prodrome in multiple sclerosis (MS) defined by nonspecific symptoms including mood disorder or genitourinary symptoms and increased health care use detected several years before diagnosis. This study aimed to evaluate agnostically the associations between diseases and symptoms diagnosed in primary care and the risk of MS relative to controls and 2 other autoimmune inflammatory diseases with similar population characteristics, namely lupus and Crohn disease (CD).
Methods: A case-control study was conducted using electronic health records from the Health Improvement Network database in the United Kingdom and France.
