Cystitis glandularis: Management and challenges in a renal transplant recipient

Himanshu Agarwal et al. Indian J Urol. 2017 Jul-Sep.

Abstract

Cystitis cystica or glandularis is a clinical and pathological entity of the bladder mucosa occurring secondary to inflammation or chronic obstruction. Its premalignant nature remains controversial, especially in an immunocompromised transplant recipient. We present a rare case where a chronic kidney disease patient was found to have cystitis glandularis while being worked up for living-related donor renal transplant and describe its subsequent management.
