Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Rheumatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by fibrosis of the skin and internal organs.
  • Lower urinary tract symptoms are a frequent complaint among SSc patients, significantly impacting their quality of life.
  • Vesical (urinary bladder) involvement in SSc, though recognized, requires further understanding of its clinical and urodynamic manifestations.

Observation:

  • This report presents three cases of progressive systemic sclerosis (SSc) with distinct urinary bladder pathologies.
  • The first patient experienced recurrent macroscopic hematuria necessitating blood transfusions.
  • The other two patients exhibited significant functional and urodynamic abnormalities of the urinary bladder.

Findings:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Pathologic abnormalities in the urinary bladder are a notable manifestation of progressive systemic sclerosis.
  • Clinical presentations range from severe hematuria to complex functional and urodynamic disturbances.
  • Literature review suggests a pattern of vesical dysfunction associated with SSc.

    • Implications:

    • Understanding bladder involvement in SSc is crucial for accurate diagnosis and patient management.
    • Urodynamic assessment may be valuable in characterizing vesical dysfunction in SSc patients.
    • Further research is warranted to elucidate the pathophysiology and optimize treatment strategies for urinary complications in systemic sclerosis.
