Misdiagnosis and Kidney failure
Interstitial cystitis an under-diagnosed bladder condition: The medical
condition of interstitial cystitic is a bladder condition that can be
misdiagnosed as various conditions such as overactive bladder or other causes of pelvic pain.
This condition can cause chronic pelvic pain or symptoms of urinary incontinence,
similar to overactive bladder.
Millions of patients may be misdiagnosed - an estimated third of the 9 million women with
chronic pelvic pain (CPP) or 4.5 million of the 17 million women with overactive bladder syndrome
do not respond well to treatment, and may have interstitial cystitis rather than their given diagnosis.
In other words, about 6 million US women may have misdiagnosed interstitial cystitis.

Article Excerpts about Kidney failure
Each year in the United States, nearly 80,000
people are diagnosed with kidney failure, a serious condition in which the
kidneys fail to rid the body of wastes. Kidney failure is the final stage
of a slow deterioration of the kidneys, a process known as nephropathy.
(Source: excerpt from Kidney Disease of Diabetes: NIDDK)
Healthy kidneys
clean your blood by removing excess fluid, minerals, and wastes.
They also make hormones that keep your bones strong and your blood
healthy. When your kidneys fail, harmful wastes build up in your
body, your blood pressure may rise, and your body may retain excess
fluid and not make enough red blood cells. When this happens, you
need treatment to replace the work of your failed kidneys.
(Source: excerpt from Kidney Failure Choosing a Treatment That's Right for You: NIDDK)
Definitions of Kidney failure:
Acute or chronic condition, characterized by the inability of the kidneys to adequately filter the blood substances, resulting in uremia and electrolyte imbalances. Acute renal failure is usually associated with oliguria or anuria, hyperkalemia, and pulmonary edema. Chronic renal failure is irreversible and requires hemodialysis.--2004
- (Source - Diseases Database)
Inability of the kidneys to excrete wastes and to help maintain the electrolyte balance
- (Source - WordNet 2.1)
A condition in which the kidneys stop working and are not able to remove waste and extra water from the blood or keep body chemicals in balance. Acute kidney failure happens suddenly (for example, after an injury) and may be treated and cured. Chronic kidney failure develops over years (related to high blood pressure or diabetes, for example) and cannot be cured. Chronic kidney failure may lead to total and permanent kidney failure, called end-stage renal disease (ESRD), and requires dialysis (process of cleaning the blood by passing it through a membrane or filter) or a kidney transplant.
