Misdiagnosis and Proteinuria
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.

Article Excerpts about Proteinuria
Proteinuria: NIDDK (Excerpt)
Proteinuria describes a condition in which urine contains an abnormal
amount of protein.
Proteins are the building blocks for all body parts,
including muscles, bones, hair, and nails. Proteins in your blood also
perform a number of important functions: protecting you from infection,
helping your blood coagulate, and keeping the right amount of fluid
circulating through your body.

Your Urinary System and How It Works: NIDDK (Excerpt)
Proteinuria is the presence of abnormal amounts of protein in
the urine. Healthy kidneys take wastes out of the blood but leave in
protein. Protein in the urine does not cause a problem by itself. But it
may be a sign that your kidneys are not working properly.
