Misdiagnosis and Kidney stones
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 stones
A kidney stone is a solid piece of material that
forms in the kidney out of substances in the urine.
A stone may stay in the kidney or break loose and travel down the
urinary tract. A small stone may pass all of the way out of the body
without causing too much pain.
A larger stone may get stuck in a ureter, the bladder, or the urethra.
A problem stone can block the flow of urine and cause great pain.
(Source: excerpt from What Are Kidney Stones: NIDDK)
Kidney stones is the term commonly used to refer to stones, or
calculi, in the urinary system. Stones form in the kidneys and may be
found anywhere in the urinary system. They vary in size. Some stones cause
great pain while others cause very little. The aim of treatment is to
remove the stones, prevent infection, and prevent recurrence. Both
nonsurgical and surgical treatments are used. Kidney stones affect men
more often than women.

Renal failure is any acute or chronic loss of
