Misdiagnosis and Reduced urine

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. See interstitial cystitis or overactive bladder, or incontinence....read more »

Diagnostic tests for Reduced urine:

Various tests are used in the diagnosis of Reduced urine. Some of these are listed below :

  • Physical examination
    • Blood pressure. If there is high blood pressure and reduced or lack of urine should consider acute or chronic glomerulonephritis, polycystic kidneys, acute tubular necrosis or dissecting aneurysm. If there is low blood pressure should consider dehydration, blood loss, an acute abdomen and other causes of shock
    • Cardiovascular examination looking for signs of an enlarged heart which may suggest congestive heart failure
    • Abdominal examination feeling for enlarged kidneys. Bilaterally enlarged kidneys would suggest bilateral hydronephrosis or polycystic kidneys. Unilateral enlarged kidneys is not usually associated with reduced or lack of urine
    • Examine for enlargement of the bladder. Enlargement of the bladder may suggest bladder neck obstruction (due to benign enlargement of the prostate, prostate cancer or urethral stricture)

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)

During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Reduced urine. Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis. Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:

  • When did the problem with the reduced urine start? - Establishing the length of time that there has been reduced urine will help determine the level of risk.
  • Is there a complete lack of urine being passed? - Complete anuria (lack of urine) is strongly suggestive of complete obstruction of both ureters or complete obstruction of a single kidney. It is a medical emergency. See lack_of_urine.
  • What has been your recent intake of fluid? - dehydration is a frequent cause of reduced urine.
  • Risk factors for dehydration? - e.g. fever, vomiting, diarrhea, excessive exercise, hot humid conditions, excessive sweating, bleeding, extensive burns, , diuretic use, uncontrolled or undiagnosed diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus, sickle cell disease.
  • Past medical history? - e.g. gout increases the risk of urinary tract stones.

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)

Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse your condition. The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Reduced urine) may include:

  • Loin pain? - associated with reduced urine suggests upper urinary tract obstruction. It can be dull or sharp, constant or intermittent.
  • Chest pain? - associated with reduced urine may suggest heart attack, lung infarction or dissecting aneurysm.
  • Abdominal pain? - may suggest dissecting aneurysm.
  • Blood in the urine (Hematuria) prior to an episode of reduced or lack of urine? - would suggest glomerulonephritis, acute tubular necrosis, intravascular hemolysis and kidney stones.
  • Fever? - Fever associated with reduced urine may suggest a urinary tract infection that is complicating a urinary tract obstruction; or an infection causing septic shock and reduced urine output. Note also that fever, itself from any cause may cause dehydration and reduced urine.
