Misdiagnosis and Acute 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 Acute kidney failure
Acute renal failure (ARF) is the sudden onset of kidney
failure. This can be caused by an accident that injures the kidneys, loss
of a lot of blood, or some drugs or poisons. ARF may lead to permanent
loss of kidney function. But if the kidneys are not seriously damaged,
they may recover. (Source: excerpt from Your Urinary System and How It Works: NIDDK)
Definitions of Acute kidney failure:
A clinical syndrome characterized by a sudden decrease in glomerular filtration rate, often to values of less than 1 to 2 ml per minute. It is usually associated with oliguria (urine volumes of less than 400 ml per day) and is always associated with biochemical consequences of the reduction in glomerular filtration rate such as a rise in blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and serum creatinine concentrations.
