[Non-bacterial cystitis: principles, diagnostics and etiogenic therapy options].
Aktuelle Urologie 2010 November
The therapy for non-bacterial cysitides is often based on purely symptom-oriented measures which in many cases relieve the patient's symptoms but cannot stop the chronic progression of the disease. The present article summarises the most common forms of non-bacterial cystitis (interstitial, radiogenic, chemotherapy-induced) with their common pathophysiology and then introduces the most common therapeutic procedures. With regard to radiogenic and chemotherapy-induced cystitis it must be considered that optimal preventative measures can often markedly delay or even prevent the development of the inflammatory processes. The preventative therapeutic measures mentioned in this article should thus constitute a fixed part of the accompanying therapy within the framework of tumour-related treatment. As alternatives or supplements to symptomatic therapy, causal therapy options show good response rates. Besides successful hyperbaric oxygen therapy, this also holds for hyalurane that is instilled with the aim of repairing the damaged glycosamine layer in the endothelium of the urinary bladder and so opens new curative options in cases that were previously considered as therapy resistant. A prior potassium-sensitivity test is recommended as this allows the putative success of the therapy to be predicted with a high probability. However. It is equally important, especially in cases of interstitial cystitis, that the diagnosis is made as early as possible which was often not done in the past.
