Amyloidosis may be a primary condition or develop secondary to a different health condition.
Bladder Outlet Obstruction
BWT is often found withbladder outlet obstruction(BOO).
It is associated with variable degrees of fibrosis and muscle necrosis (tissue death).
Underlying Causes in Men and Women
Some conditions associated with BWT can affect men and women differently.
Fever
Fever may occur with UTIs.
UTIs that cause pain or fever can occur with other conditions, such as neurogenic bladder.
Interstitial cystitis can cause pain in areas such as the pelvis, lower abdomen, urethra, or vagina.
Sexual intercourse can also be painful.
Other conditions that can cause urgency and/or frequency with urination include UTI and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
Less commonly,bladder cancercan cause these symptoms.
Urine that has an unusual color or smell could also be a symptom of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
How Is Bladder Wall Thickening Diagnosed?
BWT is typically discovered through diagnostic imaging techniques.
UTIs are usually treated with antibiotics and symptom relief (such as pain relievers).
BWT is usually diagnosed using imaging tools such as ultrasound, CT scan, and MRI.
Treatment for BWT involves treating the underlying cause.
