Background:

Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic condition with unknown etiology.
A potential autoimmune mechanism for IC requires further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore evidence of an autoimmune mechanism in the etiology of interstitial cystitis (IC).
To assess the effect of sodium cromoglycate on rat bladders.

Main Methods:

Investigated 20 patients with histologically proven IC.
Performed HLA tissue typing and obtained autoantibody profiles.
Administered a questionnaire on patient history, focusing on autoimmune conditions.
Conducted an experiment on rat bladders using sodium cromoglycate.

Main Results:

Preliminary findings suggest a possible autoimmune component in IC.
The study provides data on autoantibody profiles and HLA types in IC patients.
Sodium cromoglycate's effect on rat bladders was evaluated.

Conclusions:

The findings contribute to understanding the potential autoimmune basis of IC.
Results may guide future therapeutic approaches for interstitial cystitis management.
