  Excessive urgency and frequency of urination, suprapubic pain, dyspareunia, chronic pelvic pain and negative urine cultures are characteristic of interstitial cystitis. The course of the disease is usually marked by flare-ups and remissions. [aafp.org]

Abstract A 34-year-old male was referred for management of bladder cancer noted on workup for gross hematuria and new-onset irritative voiding symptoms. [karger.com]

The initial workup aimed to narrow this differential. IgA and C4 values were normal, and the C3 value was slightly elevated, which decreased the likelihood of IgA nephropathy, PSGN, and lupus nephritis. Normal kidney function made ATN less likely. [consultant360.com]

Underlying uropathies requiring surgical correction are much more common, particularly in males with pyelonephritis, so a more extensive workup is required to prevent reoccurrence. 3. [atsu.edu]

Further workup may include referral to a geneticist for evaluation of potential genetic or metabolic causes of stroke in these populations. [clevelandclinicmeded.com]
