AI Article Synopsis

  • Eosinophilic cystitis and nephrogenic adenoma are rarely diagnosed in children, with limited cases reported in medical literature.
  • Both conditions are linked to chronic irritation of the urinary tract and present similar symptoms, such as dysuria and hematuria.
  • This report describes an 8-year-old boy who had previous bladder surgery and was found to have both eosinophilic cystitis and nephrogenic adenoma.

Article Abstract

Neither eosinophilic cystitis nor nephrogenic adenoma is often diagnosed in children, with few pediatric cases being reported in the literature. Although these maladies share the same predisposing conditions, namely, chronic irritation or injury to the urothelium and lower urinary tract and symptoms such as dysuria, hematuria, and urinary frequency, their concomitance is exceptional. Herein, we report the case of an 8-year-old boy with a previous history of bladder surgery presenting histologically diagnosed eosinophilic cystitis and nephrogenic adenoma.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on cystitis glandularis, a chronic urinary disease with high recurrence rates, aiming to identify factors that contribute to these relapses.
  • Machine learning techniques were used to analyze data from 252 patients, identifying key predictors such as urinary infections and serum magnesium to create a prognostic nomogram.
  • The nomogram demonstrated strong reliability in predicting recurrence, with good performance metrics indicating it could effectively assist in patient management over a 12-month follow-up.

Management Strategies for Patients with Non-Infectious Cystitis: A Review of the Literature.

Curr Urol Rep

September 2024

Department of Urology, Division of Neurourology and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.

Article Synopsis
  • The review focuses on the evolving management strategies for noninfectious cystitis, categorizing it into different types like non-ulcerative and ulcerative cystitis, as well as specific causes such as eosinophilic and ketamine-induced cystitis.
  • Recent treatments showing potential include combination antihistamine therapy, phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors, alpha lipoic acid, and onabotulinumtoxin A, while the adverse effects of pentosan polysulfate sodium are also highlighted.
  • Treatment plans should be personalized, starting with conservative measures and possibly moving to more invasive procedures based on the patient’s specific symptoms and underlying causes.

Eosinophilic cystitis-an obscure case of obstructive uropathy in infancy.

Pediatr Nephrol

January 2025

Department of Paediatric Nephrology, Evelina London Children's Hospital, Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK.

We report on an infant with features of intermittent obstructive uropathy, acute kidney injury, hypertension and type 4 renal tubular acidosis (RTA) despite urethral catheterisation and fluid resuscitation. Radiological findings showed upper tract dilatation, likely bilateral vesicoureteric junction obstruction and bladder base thickening which was concerning for possible malignancy. Renal biopsy demonstrated eosinophilic infiltrate, suggestive of kidney involvement.
